I wonder how these will compare to the Unique Melody MEST Mk2 as well as the Sony IER-M9

MkII ordered with OG in my ears.

The bass and mids are excellent with the MK II but the highs have the same somewhat metallic timbre like the Oracle. With both I wouldn’t have expected that viewing the smoothness of their frequency response in the highs.

Did some tip rolling and found the metallic shimmer of the Monarch II to be reduced by tips with a longer and narrower bore. To my surprise the best so far, for my ears, are the double flange tips of the venerable UE TripleFi 10 Pro. They didn’t work for pretty much any other in-ear but with the Monarch II they provide a good seal and improve the highs significantly.

Well Crin seems to like it as its officially S tier.
Got my set yesterday and this will be my end game set.

What does Crin matter, what level does he set? It is important for you to like it :sweat_smile:

On that basis, why do any of us post or ask the thoughts of complete strangers on a forum.?
His ranking isn’t anymore important than anyone elses and is free to be ignored but for some, it’s a means of shortlisting a product for potential purchase, particularly so since much of ch-fi isn’t available for pre-purchase listening.

Does that mean that if Crin didn’t like it, you wouldn’t like it? Read other people’s opinions, most are more objective :wink: .

If crin didn’t like it, he wouldn’t follow, buy nor listen to the Monarch mkII.
Following/trusting a reviewer us not about being said what to like or not: it is about selecting the products with limited resources (be it time and/or money).

Doing that you may miss the perfect iem for you, but again: one can’t test/buy everything.

i never base a buying decision on one review(er) but read between the line of all reviews and comments.
I bought mine long before Crin ranked it and i only posted his ranking as an FYI for others…you choose if its worth anything to you, but just because its not, doesn’t mean others wont be interested.
You’re clearly not a Crin fan so why would it even bother you how he ranked something? just ignore him and use those you do like/trust.

I have been listening to them for a couple of days fully.
I am still not to the point of doing a review, I just listened for fun and enjoy it.
All I can say is that it is an awesome set for its price. I have hard time to find a reason to pick up the Legend EVO rather than the Monarch mk2.

I love the fit. I run it paired with the Fiio M17 and added the Liquid Links Venom cable. I love the result.

I will do more A/B tests later on.
