I don't know what Audeze ever did to the R&D team at Monoprice, but the Monolith division are seemingly hellbent on absolutely undermining them at every opportunity. Recently, they released the M1060's, which were essentially cheaper LCD-2's. Now they've gone and announced the M300's, the world's second ever planar IEM (after the Audeze iSine range)... for just under R2000.

Suffice it to say, I'm willing to bet these will retire my Monks... and probably my Portapros too. :groovy: :groovy: :groovy:
They also announced the M565's - basically an upgrade of the M560's but I'm not really too interested at the price (MkIII's are cheaper.)
