(Editors note* He cried internally at the loss of his precious Soul).Īfter my first two or five pairs of Monks (THEY CAME IN DIFFERENT COLOURS! And they were $5), down I went the rabbit hole. He had me print a contract, sent it to his Japan address, he sent a pair to my Philippine address, we were so deep into our own little inside joke, we kept referencing it on Head Pie and nobody gets it cos Head Pie sucks.
Of course I can’t fail to mention that one time I sold my soul to Damon for a spare Monk+. But also, like open-back headphones, the bass sounded more natural and the soundstage was unbelievable. I sometimes use em when walking a busy street so I’d be somewhat aware of my surroundings and I eventually learned the art of treating music coming out of the earbuds like they’re background music of me walking about. I only used em at home or in quiet cafés. Like open-back headphones, isolation wasn’t the best. I was accustomed to using IEMs at that time and trying the Monks was like going from using closed-back to open-back headphones. I tried it and I instantly understood what the fuss was about. I got my first pair when I won an online raffle at the King Rudi Facebook page. Audio peeps raised their eyebrows and were like, ‘lmao no way a pair of five-dollar earbuds that looks like those stock earphones you get with your mobile would sound good.’ And, of course, I’d say they were proven wrong. I remember the first time the Monk earbuds by Venture Electronics made some noise some two to three years ago. THE ULTIMATE EARBUD ROUND-UP SHOOT-OUT BATTLE ROYALE WITH CHEESE
