Review: Dirt Cheap, Quality Sound. - Don't you love when you buy the hype for a product, and it ends up living up to your expectations? meet VE monks. Probably the best non ear-intrusive earbud for the money right now. They come with a zip bag, which also comes with a set of foam covers. they are a tad big compared to other earbuds, but this really depends on your ears. I have no issues wearing them for hours on end. I ditched the foam covers, I find them obtrusive. The plastic is smooth so they wont hurt your ears. Overall, build quality is really good, the cable is a bit thicker than I expected. it should hold up well. Sound: Its hard to describe a headphone this cheap. if youre looking for price to performance, just stop reading this and get them. They are that good. Being a bit more critical, I'd still say the sound signature on these is really damn good, even compared to big boi headphones, and the respective competitors in this category. The mids are absolutely stunning. This is what everyone's raving about; the icing on the cake. the amount of detail in this range is impressive by itself, more so if you consider the price. This is no small feat for an earbud. Very spacious feel. Treble is recessed. non obtrusive, if you will. if you come from brighter headphones (DT990s in my case) youll find these a bit muffled. There is some sparkle missing, but they really grow on you after a while. It has that kind of sound signature where you want to crank the volume up. The Sony MDRE9LPs are much more sparkly than these, but they have no bass at all. Bass is ok. it's there and it's punchy. there's hardly any sub bass at all. come on, give these a break. Yincrow X6s (this earbud's main competitor) extend quite a bit more on the lower frequencies, but they are shrill to my ears. I didnt like them as much as I like these. No way to go wrong with Monks. You're getting a pair of earbuds that punch way above their price range in many aspects. Dirt cheap, quality sound.
Review: Incredibly high quality sound regardless of price - The end of the SHE3590's production left a huge void in my life. I loved those things and I used them for everything, and with the rise of bluetooth and "true" wireless earbuds on the rise, I lost hope. Until I found these. My god, the quality is insane. They far exceed the SHE3590, AND they cost less. The sound stage is huge, everything is balanced and clear (quite analytical to be honest), yet bold and full bodied. The bass comes through but isn't overpowering, the treble resonates but doesn't sound tinny, and the mids are powerful but not boxy. I'm currently playing some Humanity's Last Breath at a very high volume and these things are so clear that I can VERY clearly hear the inversion of Buster's string orientation on his palm mutes. And even droney genres like post-rock come through crystal clear, letting you hear every detail of every chord and note. Now one thing is for certain, these are not noise cancelling, so if you're looking for that, these are not for you. However, if sheer fidelity is what you seek, you need to buy these. Even ignoring their incredibly cheap price, these sound as good as $200 earbuds. Heck, maybe still better than that. They come in a hilariously ugly package which reinforces how purposebuilt they are, and I have to say, I deeply appreciate that sentiment. This truly is a purist's product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ How do they sound amazing?
*by S***W on May 11, 2021*

DISCLAIMER: Technically I have received this product twice because the first set of earbuds I got were defective and used. Essentially what happened was that the vendor or amazon decided to pull one of the returned buds out of a bin and sent those in place of a new pair without even testing them. If I had to base my review off of this bad experience these would easily get a zero. Thankfully amazon has a god-like return policy and the earbuds I eventually received were brand new and untouched. Now I have heard quite a few things about these earbuds, mainly that I should just get them even if I don't need them. So many people see these as unassuming and rather knock-off looking. In fact if you look at aliexpress you will see hundreds, if not thousands of earbuds that use the same housing as these ones so they clearly have an 'original' design that more or less belongs jn the 90's. The 'packaging' is honestly the funniest thing because it comes in a mere bag that you would grab off of a peg and these honestly look like they belong in the section of last minute purchase items nearby the snacks at the register. The back is even funnier with the egg person holding an emoji and seeing the message of 'Keeping it real'.... Yea.. Okay.. Inside you will see the buds and some foam tips. Please, please, PLEASE use the foam tips because they help with the audio experience. Look, the buds are not sharp and uncomfortable, but the foam will help to fill in some space and ensure these are stable inside your ears. The cable is cheap and will hold its shape until you use it often or heat it up with a hot blow dryer and they can get slightly noisey. But the rest is something to behold. Now, how did they manage to get all of that sound into such a cheap package? I couldn't answer that but do be warned, these need A LOT of fiddling before they sound anywhere decent. These do not have a good seal and will let sound leak in, which isn't too bad because you can just crank up the volume and drown out the world. Once you find the right position you will question reality as it is. Not really but the quality is beyond shocking. On amazon these are $10 and yet, they sound like $50 earbuds and it just doesn't make any sense. These are better than Samsung Akg buds and Apple Earpods, how is that even possible? Many experienced audiophiles ask that question and well, them and I have no answer. The bass and mids are very present and the high's are eh, which is shocking to hear from these kinds of earbuds, usually it's the opposite. Now the position of the earbud will WILDLY change the way these sound so be careful, in fact you will need to readjust these often if you walk around with these, but I honestly think its super worth it. These will provide a pleasing sound to those that are willing to put up with the down sides of this design. Plugging them into my portable amp just improves them that much more because you can get even more volume out of these shockingly tasteful earbuds. Please, just get them, dont even think about it. If you happen to receive a broken pair, send them back and get a new pair because they are worth the wait. If these things could get a better seal I would not hesitate to give them 5 stars.
