VE Monk in-ear headphones. Easily the best audio value in the world. Prepare to have your mind blown by the sound. Look up reviews

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 is 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.

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.

Not going back to cables. Hated it when I yanked them out accidentally.

These ones were my best buy for an item around 20€:

Pretty sturdy. Much bass. Very good connectivity and fit.
