These earbuds produce great detail and clarity, considering the budget price. Noise isolation is not very good though, so you will be able to hear quite a lot from your surroundings even with these on.

Pros
Pro Detailed sound despite the affordable price
The highs of the VE Monk Plus sound pretty great, with a level of detail and resolution that is rare for budget in-ear headphones yet does not come off as harsh. The mids are full and smooth as well, which gives good presence to vocals and guitars.
These budget in-ears are great for rock and pop music.
Pro Earbud design results in a more open soundstage
The design of the VE Monk Plus does not create a very tight seal, instead allowing a bit more air into the ears while wearing them. This results in a wider soundstage with great instrument separation.
Cons
Con Bass may sound too lean
The sound signature is more biased to the highs and the mids while the lows take more of a backseat. While present, the low frequencies do not have too much oomph behind them, which can be made worse by the poor seal that these may have.
Con Ambient noise can be heard with while wearing these
Since these earbuds do not seal the ear canal very well, these are not the earbuds for you if you want to focus on your music.
Con Foam covering can get uncomfortable
The thin foam cushions feel a bit scratchy and can be uncomfortable, especially when these are used for extended periods.
