I concur. VE Monk and it’s successor Monk Plus are the best $5 earphones you’ll ever use. They compete against earphones in the $100-$150 category.
Don’t let their appearance fool you, they look like a cheap crappy plastic pair you’d get for free with a discman. But their audio quality I’m phenomenal.
I’ll note here, the VE Monk success has spawned a bunch of competitors in the very-cheap-but-shockingly-good category, notably look at the Faaeal Snow Lotus and Faaeal Iris, I have both and they are great.
