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.

You must be matured around my age talking about discmans like that. Although, The last “discman” i bought was a portable CD player, and wireless earbuds didn’t exist.
This is crazy, according to wiki: “The Sony brand name for Discman changed to CD Walkman, initially for Japanese lineups launched between October 1997 and March 1998,[1] and then entirely in 2000. Discman and CD Walkman players were discontinued at the beginning of the 2010s when they lost popularity with the general public.”

Makes me feel a little old…
They are good but do they still make them find it hard to find them
I got a new pair of VE Monk Plus about 10 months ago, from AliExpress, but I haven’t looked recently.
