Thanks  Yeah they are great not only as budget earphones, but as a great earbud period!


I find them to be too bassy with doughnut foamies. I run em commando  

Aww, meng! Buds always slip n slide around my ears without some kind of foamie. Maybe I'll have to try some of those ear hangar things Hisoundfi's using.

VE DUKE

Nice :thumbsup_tone1:

No idea why a scammer would be advertising phones and cameras in an earbud's thread, but ok. 
 
Looks like it got deleted.

Thanks buddy, will check those out
 
 
also, I was just listening to "the Curse" by Agnes Obel and I am getting legit goosebumps! This is the first time that I am hearing all the friction thats there when the violin player is drawing the box across his strings! I can hear all the reverberations and that bass texture in the bass lines. I haven't heard bass this good before, like ever. The way all the instruments are weaving in and out in front of me, with her haunting voice right in front of my face. I think my ears are in heaven.
 
I have kind of run into a problem with the Duke. Once you get used to its clarity and solid and realistic imaging, everything else sounds artificial and muddy. I really don't remember my other gear sound this muddy before I heard the Duke :/ Damnit VE lol. If you care about your other gear, don't buy the Duke because it is likely you will stop caring for the other gears all together LOL. 
 
 
 

 
Edit: Now in most piano pieces I can hear the pianists breathe during the song, never really noticed that before. startled me for sure

  Some monk impressions:
 
Note that I listen to Monk foamless
 
Wow! Not sure how this thing costs 5 dollars? No seriously how? These are so damn articulate snappy and airy sounding. Best thing of all that they aren't too bassy (when not using foam) and it has a nice engaging and toe tapping inducing sound signature. Man oh man dat bass doe. So well controlled, textured and well articulated. Bass doesn't muck up the midrange and has good mid bass and sub bass. I love how this thing sounds with no foam, so snappy and crispy. High hats specially sound awesome sauce
 
Best 5 dollars you will ever spend. Kind of makes my VSD3 and similarly priced iems in my collection sound like crap at their price points :/ Damn it VE ur making me hate my other gear now 

 

 

 
I like awesome sauce!

Similar experience, but with the Zens. Since I find the Zens so satisfying, my IEMs have for the most part been neglected since I got the Zens. But I thought I'd throw on my M200's which never have disappointed me (apart from the fit/ergonomics). Amazingly they sounded kinda thin and boring compared to the fullness and naturalness of the Zens. The Zens are quickly once again in my ears.
 
Damn it VE!

I honestly can't recall. But more than 1 week and less than 3 months lol. Seriously, I think it was about 3 weeks. Good seller fwiw.

 

[golov17]

I can only say that in Russia they sent three weeks or so.
