new monster in-ear speaker

[GavinVoy 10+ year member]

signed up for a test run of the new monster turbine in-ear drivers. just got them today and they sound great.

i kinda lied on my application, i had a friend fill out the form and put my address. lol. he got a pair too.

these were marketed for the low and high end frequencies, and they do a pretty good job for the price. $149 msrp, one guy said he picked them up already online for $100.

as for the sound. the low end does a very well job at reproducing bass. in songs like "bass i love you" and "bassotronics" (two of my favorite bass songs), it did ok. i was skeptical when i heard the bass on those songs so i played a 50 hertz, 15 second, test tone. and wow, i could feel the bass in my head. some songs it does well with the bass and others it does a phenomenal job at it. the high end, like crash symbols are accurate. just like how i like my HSKs on the little harsh side, and the mids are there.

i dont know much when it comes to midrange, but lows and highs are great. it sounds much better when you have a higher bit rate you can tell a difference between 320 and 160.

and of course noise canceling. they do a pretty good job at it, not completely.

and the design is pretty cool too, a throw to their RCAs.

im not too much of an audiophile, just getting into it. just thought i should post a review

I signed up to and got a set to try out as well. They sound almost as good as my ultimate ears super fi 5 extended bass earphones but he trubines do it in a much smaller package. I played a test tone sweep and they went all the way to 10hz but at 10hz it sounded like they were bottoming out or doing something weird. So far I've been impressed with them.

These earphones are the first monster product i have ever gotten and I didnt pay for it. I'm not trying to hype monster all there stuff is too overpriced for me.

How did you get them free?

Monster has a program going on right now where you can get a set for 60 days to try out and review. They only pick 100 though.

If they weren't Monster would have sued them already and made them change their name.

yeah most earphones have power restrictions. more power, better sound = less battery life.

These earphones are the first monster product i have ever gotten and I didnt pay for it. I'm not trying to hype monster all there stuff is too overpriced for me.

i too have never paid retail for any moster products, picked up some RCAs cause a guy worked at CC and got like 80% off. except for a spool of speaker wire i got from walmart.

... I played a test tone sweep ... So far I've been impressed with them.

my friend made fun of me cause the first thing i did was play a test tone, lol.
