Heb deze iem met plezier een aantal maanden in mijn bezit gehad, maar ga toch liever investeren in een over ear / desktop set en moet dus budget vrij maken daarvoor. Zelf vergeleken met flink wat iem&
Is €899 a fair ask for this set, or are you paying above the usual used-market sweet spot? Based on your recent EUR comps, it sits above the 75th percentile €790, so this is an ambitious listing rather than a bargain. It’s not wildly off for a sought-after flagship-tier IEM, but at this level I’d want either exceptional condition, a very complete accessory bundle, or some room to negotiate.
That said, the Monarch line is well regarded for its reference-style tuning, strong technicalities, and all-rounder versatility, so there’s a real payoff if you want that polished hybrid/DD+BA sound. If it’s clean, lightly used, and comes with original tips, cable, case, and packaging, the premium is easier to justify. If not, I’d treat €899 as a ceiling and look for a more comfortable entry closer to the median.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
