Has anybody tried the Monolith Monoprice M300?
It has planar managetic drivers apparently and is now discounted at $49.90: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24461

Looks like a Audeze iSine10 actually LOL.
The Monolith M300 has it's own thread:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/monolith-m300-in-ear-planar-earphones.851090/page-39#post-15382834

Biggest issue I had with them was the ear hooks; I found them to be irritating and I had one spontaneously snap, overnight, on my second day of ownership. To their credit, MP sent replacement clips, but the new clips aren't any different . I also tried iSine hooks, but had one of them snap as well.

Some owners converted them to headbands. I did a quick mock up and found that (putting aside the appearance) the M300s were much better (for fitment and seal) in this configuration.

But I ended up putting them aside, once I got into IEMs. With the advent of the E1DA PDV2, I'll have to revisit my pair.

Edit to add:
If you have or are thinking of purchasing an E1DA PDv2, the M300 at $50 is a no brainer
just posted an update to the M300 thread: the M300s are open back and have a 28mm planar driver. the sound stage and dynamics would be a challenge for any conventional IEM to contend with.

So I had a relization. Just noticing that earphones now a days all sound pretty damn good. I havent really had one that I can say was an absolute fail. Seems SQ is ramping up more and more now a days. I think competing manufacturers are noticing this too. Such competion only means. Better stuff for us.

No longer do we need to shell out $500 for a great sounding iem. My H40 and TRi I3 has proven to me how good stuff can sound withought spending a ransome. With that being said it is the mid fi realm that is really intriguing. That Blessing 2 is less than the first Blessing. RP being $320 or so. From the looks of it. It should be every bit as good as my IT04 maybe even better which was $500. Heck right now I would actually take my H40 over the IT04.

Progress is good my friends!

Just received the Shuoer H27 today, bright little things but go deep when required. Makes me think it is like a controlled Hibiscus. Not V-shaped but way more neutral. I like them very much. They have a dynamic and two BA drivers in each earpiece.

Was a bit curious about those. They look kinda like KB Ear phones.

I convinced myself to take one for the sake of discovery. Should have my Blessing 2 in a few weeks I hope. Earphone just calls out my name. Had to do it.
And if you're by chance not liking the sound, you can still use it as a nail file, so win-win there ^_^'

From:
https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/...4ba-hybrid-technology-in-ear-monitor-earphone

"One side of Blessing 2 is laser engraved with the "Blessing2" logo, while the other retains the unpainted stainless steel brushed texture.
The high adhesion of brushed stainless steel provides a chance for customer to DIY on it to show their unique personality
Not only that, you can also be creative and do various things on it, such as laser carving
You can even use it to sharpen your nails."
