Found the 1st gen shuffle today for $10. Monk+ sounds great with it.
Total = $15
One of the best sounding players Apple ever made. Did you get the 500mb one?

Yup it is 512mb. I've been wanting one of these for a long time. First impressions live up to the hype. I really enjoy the sound signature.

Guys, these IEMs retail for $12 and for many reasons should be the star of this thread. Twelve dollars.

Think I'll have to jump on the bandwagon! How do they compare to other IEMs you own?

Fiio Q1 70$ and the Vsonic Vsd3s 50$
I connect these to my phone via otg, and it works pretty nicely.
It is nice to see the nx1 receiving some love it feels like a waste that I don't have a use for mine anymore.

I would love to post pictures of my sub $200 set up but it says I don't have permission to.
I have a ZTE Axon which I got for $179.00. I use it to power:
Monoprice 8323 DJ headphones ( $12.00 direct from Monoprice with a %20 off deal and free shipping)
Monoprice 12235/6 "Hi-Fi Reflective Sound Technology Earphones"with mic ($3.00)
Monoprice 8320 enhanced bass noise isolating earphones ($2.00)
Jbl J13 earbuds (Included with the ZTE Axon.)
My other set up is an iphone 4s ( I got it for free, but I know these can be had for less than $100) that I use with:
California Headphone Company Laredo ($15.00 Newegg December 2014)
Sony MDR 7506 ($80.00)
I love the sound quality of the Axon. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you are purchasing a phone outright as opposed to some kind of financing option with one of the carriers. It's usually 'on sale' for $199.00 but I have seen it drop down to as low as $159.00 for a one day sale.
I know people gripe about the lack of an sd card slot, but I use Spotify and set it to the highest quality level. In terms of loss of SQ using streaming, it's minimal, especially when considering this is a portable rig. I have listened to FLAC files through Poweramp vs.Spotify and there is a small difference.........but only when I am sitting in my house, with no ambient noise TRYING to hear the difference.
