I've always wanted a set. I'm going to try and trade my T50P for one.

You're probably thinking: Monster? Those guys who made Beats! But Talon, I thought Beats were garbage for the price! They are. But, their credence for making in-ear headphones is still recognized by a good portion of the audiophile community that isn't turned off by the brand name. These headphones were geared towards a large audience with a nice medium between a consumer oreinted signature (V-shaped freq. response for bass and pseudo-clarity) while still keeping audiophiles happy with an instrumental music-friendly liquid midrange. As with most Monster products, the bass was engineered firsthand and is the "focal point" of the headphone's frequency response (I just thought of that term and I'm going to start using it now). It's what really shines on these in-ears, but that isn't to say the midrange isn't amazing. Although the frequency response is V-shaped and the mids are the "background plane" of the headphone, they still sound true-to-life in jazz and orchestral music alike. The treble is nothing extraordinary, but if it were, you'd probably be paying a $200 premium. Rest assured, I'm sure it will satisfy anyone who's starting to get into Hi-Fi. Oh, and I forgot to mention - these headphones are beautiful. Go out and show those Beats Tours kids real headphones that don't look like $25 Safeway headphones. Spoiler
Note: Retailers have this for around $400, their MSRP, but you can find them refurbed off Monster's official site for around $110. If it isn't available anymore, it shouldn't be a problem finding them from certified eBay resellers for that price, give or take $20 ____________ Also, I'll finish everyone else's requests during my lunch break. |

Hey Talon, I'm looking for a decent pair of full-size headphones for home use for movies, music, etc. My budget is probably in the $100 price range but it's pretty flexible if the quality is worth it. I would mainly be using the set with my iDevices, but I would be using my computer as well. Thanks! |

I think they're overpriced pieces of worthless plastic, sharing the same build quality and durability of a Fisher Price knockoff, whilst the sound quality is reminiscent of stuffing cotton balls in my ears while I have a cold. They're also ugly and wearing them out in public makes you out as a poser, especially the ones who wear them around their neck with the detachable cable out.
