Can they be worn cable down? Over ears is a deal breaker for some.

Possible, because the Monk IEs are so small, but not recommended. Isolation takes a hit because of poor fit (YMMV), and it doesn't feel as comfortable as over-ear.

I would think you'd be better off swapping sides to wear them down due to the look of the nozzle angle.

I tried, but the 2-pin plugs would make it an even worse fit. If the sides are not swapped, then you can still put on the earphones based on the nozzle angle, and get an acceptable fit (but weird looking - like people who choose not to wear the SE215 over-ear).

I'm very interested in buying the package, but as I've not purchased any Monk products before, I'm afraid I am not eligible to buy it.
If anybody buys a pair, could I get a gearcode as a reference so I can buy them too?

I am planning to buy them and I have no "real life" friends who are into audio, so sure!

That would be very much appreciated

@Lonelyers Did you try the Smalls with Spinfit tips yet? I suppose they take the CP100?

Yes, I am able to use the CP100 on both the Biggie and Smalls.

Is the one on the 1st page going to be the final design?

I understand that this is a value proposition at 60$ considering everything that you are getting, but the question is, is it actually worth it?
Looking at just one, 40$ can get you a very good IEM these days, for example, Tin Audio T2 (very solid metal build, relatively balanced sound, removable cable of great quality), Monk IE is already behind in terms of design and material choices. In order for a pair of Monk IE to be a valuable purchase it needs to outclass the sound of the best budget IEMs. Do you think that they've done it?
These 2 are quite intriguing but they are getting on the market in a weird time, will probably miss the Black Friday as well and most people looking to buy an IEM of that price might do so when there is a discount of some sorts.

One question though. If there is a better one(the Biggie) and the lower performance one(the Smalls) why would they both be $40 for either one of them. Seems the Smalls is not as good in sound or value as who wants to pay the same price for a lower model as a higher(even if only slightly higher) one.
