The nozzle, when it has a tip on, is just too wide for my Ear canal. However, there was a reoccurring issue that I came across when looking, the fit. Monarch MkIIs are very well regarded and are said to represent good value when compared to even more expensive IEMs that don't sound or perform better or even equally. The law of diminishing returns is especially true as you spend more in Audio. Just how good is an 'Endgame' expensive IEM? Not because I had any complaints with the Fiio but because I was curious as to what the scale of improvement would be, if any at all. Treble and Vocals are the most noticeable improvements over the Fiios, again though only marginal.ĭecided to upgrade to the Monarch MkII from my Fiio FH3.

For the Treble things like Cymbals sounded better with a slightly improved sustain or resolution. On some songs I actually noticed what some lyrics were, where I was more listening to just the melody before. Regarding Vocals, I noticed better clarity or presentation. The Monarch MkIIs do offer a great listening experience, very enjoyable and smooth with great clarity and detail, whilst also having satisfyingly meaty and weighty Bass (when present in the Music). Not 7 times better, which is the price difference and I wouldn't say even twice as good either. My point of reference/comparison is the KZ ZS10 Pros, which were replaced with Fiio FH3s, due to them breaking.Ĭompared to the Fiios the staging, imaging, instrument separation, vocals, treble and the bass, including sub bass rumble are all better. Will start with what most folks want to hear about, the sound. Not in London but in Edinburgh (review preview said London)
