Venture Electronics VE MONK Plus Wired In Ear earphone (Black)

This is the real deal. Great sound for the price. They surprised me with their sound stage, even with the output from my phone. In case you have an amp this will scale up quite well, the sound stage opens up even more. Imaging is decent. I own the VE Zen, so if you dont compare them the imaging is great too. Although the mids are great its still got that slight "V shaped" sound. But the treble is handled quite well, I dint notice any sibillance. About the fit thats good but it kind of hurt my ears after using it for 2 hours or so, or if i sleep on them, as these are quite big for my ears. Also, altought it looks plasticy lasts quite long even upon very rough usage(it litteraly stays in my jeans' pockets), I owned one for the last 1 year and they the connector just gave, and thats on me by the way. Go for it

Note: This is a Semi-Open Back Type of earbuds i.e. GRADO Type. So we need silent room to listen these. Genre: Specially designed for "Vocal Jazz" Audiophile Songs SOUNDSTAGE: Soundstage has Proper Width, Depth and Height, almost 3-Dimensional Soundstage Bass - These are not for bassheads. As Usual audiophile is more concerned to throat Clarity of Singer (just like Vinyl Playback) not to the bass. These have mid-bass type of bass just like audiophile bookshelf Speakers Vocals are just a little bit close to your ears i.e. forward vocals, not too forward (So that you can feel, You are in a live concert with an artist). Due to this, you may feel that these have congested sounstage, But this is not true, there are vocals only that are a little close to your ears, All other instruments are played well in a proper 3-D space far behind the Vocals All stated above is based on testing with my samsung galaxy A7 2015 version with fiiO BTR1K Bluetooth aptX DAC/amplifier It is all depend all your Smartphone's audio output If your smartphone is without any dedicated internal Hi Fi DAC. Then, these earbus will produce mediocre audio quality. In my system (Galaxy A7 2015) their audio output is quite narrow (Congested) soundstage i.e. not any out of the head experience feel. If you have better system then these will break all the records in budget audiophile. Because these have ability to scale well with high end Systems. VE Monk Plus has Live although Musical Sound Signature (a little bit smooth live type, not really smooth as velvety signature of expensive earbuds out there) . They will produce a proper 3-Dimensional Space, if you pair them with devices which have dedicated Cirrus Logic DAC for audio I have tested these on my younger brother's Micromax Canvas Knight 2 (E471) which have dedicated cirrus logic's wolfson WM8998 stereo DAC. It's all depends on your source device and some setting in audio section you have to manage to get max output from these earbuds Hold these in your hand while playing a song and feel those crazy vibrations these 64 Ohm produces. Amazing...Wow Conclusion: This has Live but musical Concert like 50% Open-back dynamic kind of sound although with Musical Kind of Signature, which FiiO's EM3S Earbuds does not have. Yes, these little babies are expert well in mimicking Grado headphones if you play some selected masterpiece Hi-Res Audiophile songs from chinese singers such as - Zhou Hong & Jiang Zhi Min - 'In fact I care you very much' Hi Res Album, Lu Sun Lu - 'Lonely Women' Hi Res Album and Zhao Peng etc.

The more I am listening...The more I am liking it. Took some time to get used to it. What an unbelievable pair of headphones for the price. My LG G8x drives these like charm. Deducting 1 star as I can not use it for prolonged period because of the fit or may be due to my ears are smaller. May sound low if not used with correct device as the impedance is high.

This earphone should be around Rs.300-Rs.700 according to it's international rate, but "amazon.in" prices it around Rs.800-Rs.900. It has very good sound quality for its price but the piece I received doesn't fit perfectly in my LG V20's jack; as in I have to adjust a bit manually and then it works fine. But no problem while using it in my laptop. If you need an earphone that has a higher impedance than normal(this has 64 ohms, others mostly 16 or 32 ohms) then this is the only one you can get under Rs.1000 in India at the time of this review. And yes, it triggers the DAC on LG G and V series phones if that is what you are getting it for. It is loud and good. So if that's what you wish for then go for it. Not an audiophile, so won't go much into technical details, but from general listening it does sound very good, it gets uncomfortable to wear after some period of time but that depends on the individual of course. Subjective rating: 7.5/10 Would have given it 8 or 8.5 if it didn't cost more in India. Still value for money though.

It sounds so good it's a shame it fits terrible 😭

I just needed this to activate quad DAC on my LG G7 . But honestly these are best headphones which surprised me with their quality ( considering price which is just 630 if ordered directly form hifinage). They sound good than any 2k earphones ( I have headphones ranging form 500 to 20k ) . They actually have little soundstage and instrument separation. But note , you need powerful phone to drive this thing (63 ohm ) . All LG phone and some redmi can drive them

Sounds more detailed than my Sennheiser hd201, mi piston buds and that 300 RS boat buds. You'd be surprised if you were latched on plug buds. Music is more 3d because open buds. Which also means poor insulation. Was looking for clear mid sounding buds for that crisp vocals. Was not dissapointed. Bass is nothing to brag about. But if you have the patience go for same buds from a+ie'pr3ss. Much cheaper there.

Very good. I am one of those who cannot use in ear headphones and needed traditional old school headphones. Works great 4.5/5.

Los compré por curiosidad, muchos hablan de ellos y he escuchado comentarios positivos. En mi experiencia personal, tiene dos puntos en contra. No me resultaron cómodos, después de 1 hora, la forma en que se enganchan en mi oreja, me cansa. Y las frecuencias bajas son de tenues a inexistentes, dependiendo la canción. Probablemente en el rango de frecuencias, no baja de 200hz. Por el lado positivo, escuchándolos a través de un amplificador, (yo los he conectado a un Monolith Portable Amp-DAC THX AAA) puede disfrutarse de medios limpios y agudos agradables. El bajo se hace presente a un volumen medio-alto, pero es apenas audible; y en canciones con mucho bajo o muchos instrumentos es fácil que distorsionen. Creo que funcionan bien para escuchar audiolibros, podcasts, música vocal, jazz o con pocos instrumentos y de preferencia grabaciones en vivo; para apreciar la buena sensación de escenario que ofrecen. La separación de instrumentos es apenas suficiente. Por el precio no se puede ser exigente. Creo que valen la pena si los compras para probar o coleccionar. Si son tus únicos audífonos, deberías considerar otra opción.

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.

My hat is off to Venture Electronics for what they've achieved for the audio world. Frankly, they've changed everything, and this isn't hyoerbole. They've told everybody, including all the big boys (Sennheiser, AKG, etc.), quality HIGH FIDELITY sound can be delivered to the public for pennies. Sure, this is helped achieved by the absolute BARE BONES packaging and build quality. But nonetheless, it tends to blow people's minds that such a product even exists, as it did mine. What this product does right: -Attempt at neutrality: even across the board audio representation. Nothing is recessed, nothing is artificially EQd to oblivion. Each frequency has a presence and is able to shine through without so much as touching a neighboring one. This bullet point is not just a breath of fresh air, it's a complete and utter anomaly for audio gear at or anywhere near this price point. Anything around this price is coloured (read: aggressively EQd to distract away from the horrid quality). Near total neutrality here is something that is. Not. Found. -Clarity. The sound has a presence and texture that are immensely detailed and articulate. Instruments can be analyzed. -Spacing. For ear buds, the soundstage on these is stupidly wide. Instrument seperation is stupid also. You don't have a width elements where everything scrunched together and jammed into a tiny ball. You can be "there" with the recording. -Price. This doesn't need to be explained. The pricing is what makes all of the above as true as they are. In that while yes, with no dispute all of those attributes are simply objectively true regardless of price, the price nonetheless provides that much more of a massive context for appreciation. What this product does wrong: -Lack of sub bass. Speaks for itself. Obviously very easily forgiven given the price. -Ergonomics. Comfort is a major issue. You have vast numbers of people complaining about these being able to fit in their ear canals. These aren't for tiny ears. One of my ear canals is particularly small and I can never get a totally true fit in it. Besides this, the plastic material is simply rough and uncomfortable. The foam pads help, but not by much. Why VE even toyed with the idea of ear buds is bizarre. There is a pretty good reason their existence has been so phased out over the past decade. -Quality of foam pads. The foam pads included are of horrendous quality. They're extremely difficult to attach and are hugely prone to tearing when engaged in this prolonged period of attempt to attach. Most importantly, they are far more prone even still to FALL OFF and get lost. Just taking them out of my ear is nearly always guaranteed to rip one or both of them off. The solution is to be sure to never just take them out like you would with any other normal earphone; you need to be incredibly delicate and slow. -Isolation and leakage. These are horrifically bad at letting in outside noise. Any slightly noisy environment will be letting in noise that will interfere with your listening. Sufficiently noisy environments will prevent isolation period, even when turning up to high volumes. Conversely, they also leak noise to the environment. Bad for listening in quiet spaces. But keeping them at a low volume doesn't yield bad listening, at least. To conclude, while I did indeed list off a string of noteworthy flaws, the price point negates every single one almost completely, save for the foam pad problems. The quality of the listening to price point ratio is simply too astonishingly high for any fault to properly distract. Also, it should be mentioned that initially these were sold at $5 USD. They can still be found for the price ($6, which is close) when buying through proper outlets, like the company's Ali Express page and website. However, there is an additional few dollars for shipping. That, combined with the dollar exchange, make $15 not leagues far off. Buy, buy, buy.

The sound and easy to use

Precio irrisorio para una calidad excelente. Buen cable, no se enreda... No le veo ninguna pega. Solamente que el envío tarda un poco más de lo normal pero aún así, recomendado.
