Like one expect according to the reviews..very strange...has someone notice something similar?or it is only a case or a single different exemplar ?

I have heard that ve and other earbuds need a bit to "break/burn in" perhaps its just still new...

I have 4 monk plus and an original monk, but with different cables, so I don't expect them to sound exactly the same and for me they don't

ordered one, can't wait to get my hands on ve monk plus red blue version standard cable and pair up with cayin c5....

been hearing people say its goes better if your amp turns further up, is that true?

Just receive my very own ve monk plus. I think im just surprise as anyone else here but the feeling is like reminds me earbud era... i always look up at sennheiser mx series. Some point of time, i felt the sound signature reminds me the sennheiser’s mx series..but ve monk is different. I remmber when i max out my source, sennheiser distort easily. But with ve monk is still tolerable and pleasant in my ears..

In short, this ve monk makes you feel and reminds you the earbud era.. how good it sounds during that era

So... I ended up taking the plunge on the last massdrop of the Monk+ and I guess I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong regarding fit. I got the Ex Pack and have a billion foam things, a couple of rings in white and black, and a couple of ear wings. I've tried almost every concievable combination, but feel like I'm still missing the sound everyone is talking about. The real b#&@h of it is that if I push the buds closer to my ear canals suddenly the mids and bass fill in and I hear some really amazing sound, but I can't seem to figure out how to get that without just holding them in my ears. I feel like if it was possible to make IEMs out of these they would sound incredible.

Any suggestions, or do ear buds just not work for me?

Earbuds aren't really about trying to get the kind of seal you're talking about. The closest some get is put on full foams, then put on donut foams over them in order to create a better seal. You have to keep in mind these are $5 earbuds that outperform what $30 could get you a few years ago. It's beauty is to show you how much things have improved.

It's hard to accept that when you can push them in closer and hear the potential of what the sound could be!

That said, I'm VERY impressed with the clarity, transparency, and imaging. Pretty incredible considering the cost.

Try doubling up donut foams and/or getting thicker foams like Hiegi.

I remember someone suggested tapping it to your ears when the same question was asked...

Wait up hmm i find it interesting to listen to retro songs like abba especially. Imo i find the instrument use in the song is very detail. Soundstage is pretty good wide as far as i can compare with other iem like shure 215..

Dear Monk Plus community, I absolutely adore the Monk Plus sound. This made me sell many of my audio gears. However, sometimes the big face of the bud seem uncomfortable. So I want to get another pair of earphones/ iems that have similar sound signature as Monk Plus but with better sub-bass extension. Price <$100. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Try asking on the earbud thread? The Yuin PK shell earbuds are smaller and are generally more comfortable for most ppl.

Yes, the shells are a bit larger than some other earbud shells, so may not be the best for some ears. I have a tragus piercing in one ear, so fit can be a challenge. I find that I get the best fit if I put the shells in my ear comfortably, then push down rather than in.
