Comments about Monster® Turbine™ PRO High Performance In-Ear Speakers™:
When moving into the realm of $300 for a set of headphones, there are certain expectations to be met. I want to hear clarity at a wide range of frequencies. I want to hear an extremely dynamic sound across the many types of music I listen to. These 'In-Ear Speakers' do not fit this bill. What I heard, when I put these into my ears, was a sound that was extremely clear and tight at the upper end but absolutely lacking any bass response. The music from this set sounded flat, lifeless and didn't fill in the expected frequency ranges.

Comments about Monster® Turbine™ PRO High Performance In-Ear Speakers™:
These are the most amazing earphones I've ever had. I've other brands of high end headphones and these are superior in every way. The only downside at all, and it is minor, is that the headphones dont stay in my ears very well. I have large ear canals and this is common on all headphones.

YOU NO LONGER NEED TO LISTEN TO MUSIC AT HIGH VOLUMES TO APPRECIATE YOUR MUSIC. GO BACK AND LISTEN TO YOUR OLD FAVORITE CD's AND APPRECIATE THE SOUNDS WITH FRESH EARS. ONLY CON IS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE CONTROL TALK. I'LL JUST HOLD MY HAND IN MY POCKET. WORTH THE SACRIFICE.

Comments about Monster® Turbine™ PRO High Performance In-Ear Speakers™:
I am a serious music listener, everyday I am using my Zune mp3 player. These in-ear speakers are the best so far. I have used v-moda, Sony, Sennheiser and hands down the Turbine Pro Gold are superior. On the high end for price but my playing time justifies the cost. The cable is great, very sturdy. Reinforced connections are also well made. The bass is solid, I don't listen to heavy low end music like say rap or hip hop, so low end reproduction for me is crucial as I listen to progressive rock, these do not fail at all.
Nice job Monster!

Comments about Monster® Turbine™ PRO High Performance In-Ear Speakers™:
These headphones are amazing I must say, however they seem to be somewhat expensive for quality I can find in headphones a third cheaper. The Dr. Dre tour headphones also made with Monster are much cheaper and deliver almost the same performance. Well I am only testing with my iPod and computer, possibly when using higher quality formats such as FLAC there is a notable difference. But for simple music player listening I would say going with the cheaper choice, very little difference and $200 dollars cheaper.
