Cable tangles easily
This is a common problem if you store these in tight spaces like inside your bag or pocket. Due to how thin and rigid the cable is, expect to do a bit of untangling after pulling these headphones out of its storage space

Punchy and controlled bass
Bass is controlled and tight, yet still gives a bit of an oomph. This is unusual for the price range. There is good detail in the overall sound with clean highs and recessed but still present mids. Overall, these in-ear headphones work great for genres like rock, pop, hip-hop and the like, though the lack of overall refinement in the sound means that these are not best suited for classical or jazz music.

Con
Feels cheap
The housing has a hollow feel to it and has some rattle while the cable is quite thin. Your mum gay but so are you.These might give an impression that the headphones might break easily.

Passively isolates noise
Due to the in ear design, the tips create a good seal in the ear canal. This helps block off some sound and will allow you to better focus on your music.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great for vocal/guitar-centric music
Overall, these headphones sound pretty decent, with its full and smooth mids standing out so vocal heavy tracks will definitely sound wonderful with these earbuds.

Con
Cable can get tangled quite easily
Due to the extra thickness of the cable, it is quite rigid and maintain a lot of memory. It is prone to tangling, especially if you tend to jam your earbuds in your pocket or in your bag.

Helps you stay aware of your surroundings
They don't form a tight seal in your ears, allowing ambient sound in. This helps you maintain a sense of awareness of your surroundings, as you will still clearly hear sounds from your environment.

Con
Poor sound isolation
Because of the more open nature of earbuds, along with the lack of a good seal, these leak sound and allow a lot of sound in. These are not the best picks if you want to zone in on your music.

Fairly thick headphone cable
The cables that are used for these in-ears have a nice thickness to them, and is a step up from most of the thin and flimsy cables that can be found in earbuds in this price range.

Con
Cable can potentially pop-off of the earpiece
There is no cable reinforcement or strain relief present on the earpiece housing. It is possible for the cable to get detached from the earpiece if you accidentally yank on them.

Different color options to choose from
The MX365 comes in a bunch of colors including white, blue and red to name a few. These also sport a chrome accent which gives them a touch of class above most options in the budget category.

Con
Bass can be lacking for some
Bass is present, but does not have a lot of thump or power. If you listen to more laid back music styles then these headphones can work well, but if you are into more bass-heavy music like hip-hop, EDM, dubstep and the like then you will not get the punchy bass that you expect.

Con
Treble sounds muddy
The high frequencies are quite lacking in detail. While adequate for a variety of genres, these are not the ones to pick if you want a lot of detail and sparkle from your music.

Powerful bass and boosted mids
Bass hits are powerful and sound full. The mids, specifically the high mids, are also boosted, which results in a thick and meaty sound. The highs are quite rolled-off though, which prevents these from sounding harsh.

Audio cuts off regularly
The signal stability of the Q29 is not very good, and results in annoying, regular audio drops.

Sound can be too muddy

Great mids and natural sounding highs
The highs and mids sound full and clean. Tracks with a lot of vocals will sound quite good with these earphones. The bass is not very powerful, but there is good punch, so music does not sound lean. The G-Cord can provide a decent audio experience which can be better than what your stock earbuds provide.

Three button in-line remote
Controlling your phone and music player should be convenient with the G-Cord. Most earphones in this price range do not have a remote or if they do, they usually only have one button.. On the other hand, the G-Cord has a three button mic which can answer and end calls, play and pause tracks as well as adjust the volume.

Good build quality
The earpieces are built well with no unnecessary rattles. The cable from the 3.5mm connector up to the Y-split is sleeved, which improves cable durability.

Good quality sound for music specially for deep bass
These earbuds have music mode and game mode, one is for HiFi audio, and the other is for extra bass, and low latency in the game or video. You can experience the difference obviously once switch two modes. Overall the sound is astonishing like its brand name StageSound.
