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 SongsSOUNDSTAGE: Soundstage has Proper Width, Depth and Height, almost 3-Dimensional SoundstageBass - 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 SpeakersVocals 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 VocalsAll stated above is based on testing with my samsung galaxy A7 2015 version with fiiO BTR1K Bluetooth aptX DAC/amplifierIt is all depend all your Smartphone's audio outputIf 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 audioI 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 earbudsHold these in your hand while playing a song and feel those crazy vibrations these 64 Ohm produces. Amazing...WowConclusion: 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: 7.5/10Would 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.
