So I finally got my hands on a pair of VE Monks after waiting for them for a month from China. I know I'm many months late to the party haha. I have been around the earbud scene for a long time and seen a lot of hype and expectations ruined but here I can honestly say I am very impressed. I don't think there's any question at all these sound better than all the other previous hyped up budget earbuds I've heard such as the old Tingo, Mrice/Baldoor, and the little obscure ones here and there. The Monk is definitely better than all of them easily. I think it is even better than the Blox BE3 even if the BE3 has a little bit more detail in the mids and highs. The Monks sound signature is just close enough to the full experience that it's fine if the top end is a bit rolled off. The monks are definitely crazy at $5. Does anyone know the OEM maker of the drivers and the diaphragm material? Is it Foster?
