Monster Turbine Pearl

 

The Monster Turbine Pearls are a set of in-ears that emphasize design. These are definitely some of the more stylish in-ears we've had in for review. Unlike other high-design headphones we've reviewed, however, the Turbine Pearls don't charge a crazy...

We don’t often get in a pair of design-oriented headphones that are actually a decent buy. The Turbine Pearls didn’t have the greatest audio quality, but it wasn’t bad either. Additionally, unlike many other stylized headphones, the Pearls are actually...

Monster Diddybeats High-Performance In-Ear Headphones

 

Knowing that celebrity sells, cable manufacturer Monster has worked with some big names on its headphone and earphones in recent years, first collaborating with Dr. Dre on Monster Beats by Dr. Dre ($349.95 list, ). Then came Lady Gaga and the late...

Solid overall audio performance. Deep bass response. No distortion at high volumes.Built-in iPhone/iPod touch controls

Overpriced. Fit can be inconsistent ear to ear

Following in the footsteps of Dr. Dre, Sean 'Diddy' Combs gets his own Monster-branded pair of earphones—they deliver good sound quality and deep bass response, but cost too much.

Beats by Dr. Dre Diddybeats

 

From Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Diddy and now: DiddyBeats. Whatever you choose to call him, it's clear that the fashion icon and R&B mega-star is a polarizing figure. One tends to love him or hate him. So, it isn't all that surprising that there are...

Revealing, powerful sound ; Unique and stylish design points ; Wide range of ear-tip sizes

Bass response may be heavy for some ; Bulky earpieces ; iPhone ControlTalk attachment weighs down left earpiece

Though a little heavy and slightly cumbersome, the DiddyBeats look and sound fantastic with sound on par with their more expensive cousins.

and packs some seriously deep bass response. Most earphones that attempt to deliver booming bass end up distorting or muddying sound, but Monster keeps things clear. Fans of hip-hop, electronic music, and hard rock are likely to enjoy this pair, but if...

Lightweight. Tremendous bass response. Carrying case, fit kit included

Inconsistent fit. Can be uncomfortable if worn for long periods

Monster's booming Turbine features some of the deepest yet still well-defined, bass response you can find in a pair of in-ear 'phones.

Monster Turbines Headphones Review - Intro

 

The Monster Turbines are a set of in-ears from the popular cabling company. The Turbines feature an interesting design, which is hard to pull off on such a small piece of plastic. We thought that the Turbines were comfortable, but they tended to come...

They look better than the average in-ear ; Good frequency response, max volume, and tracking. Above average isolation and leakage control ; Very portable ; The Turbines are a good deal from their price

No cord guards might lead to durability issues ; More distortion that we typically see, compared to other in-ear headphones they don't have great isolation or leakage control ; Tend to fall out ; Unfortunately, there are a lot of great deals at this price

The Monster Turbines have the unfortunate position of being better than average at a price point full of excellent headphones. They received good scores and aren't too overpriced, but then again we really couldn't recommend them over all the other,...

Monster Turbine

 

Monster may be new to the headphone market, but it's off to a good start. The company recently introduced the Beats by Dr. Dre , a full-size over-the-ear headphone, which was codeveloped by the master hip-hop artist and producer. That headphone...

Monster's Turbine in-ear headphone delivers excellent sound quality, with strong bass; robust, all metal construction; handsome carry case.

Eartip fitting may require patience.

Monster's Turbine in-ear headphone looks, feels, and sounds like a much more expensive model.

Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones Review - Intro

 

The Beats are a set of over-ear headphones created by Monster, with collaboration from renowned rapper, Dr. Dre, and are currently available for $349. The headphones feature active noise cancellation and detailed audio. They also come with a good set...

They look really nice ; They have an above average frequency response and sound like they have good detailing ; The Beats are comfortable and versatile: they can meet the needs of portable users or at-home users ; They're a viable option for people...

They aren't particularly durable ; Overall, they have poor audio quality. Low isolation doesn't offset a battery dependency ; Kinda portable" and "could be ok for in-home use" mean they aren't great at either role ; The Beats, along with most other...

The Beats are built for mainstream listeners. The detailing is great, and will, to many people, seem like absurdly high audio quality. Add in their comfortable design and interesting aesthetic, and the Beats are a solid option for this demographic. ...

Review: Monster Turbine Pearl High Performance In-Ear Speakers

Monster Turbine Mobile High Performance In-Ear Speakers with ControlTalk Review

 

Today I am looking at the Monster Turbine Mobile High Performance In-Ear Speakers with ControlTalk. These high-end earphones have a control on the cable for music phones and iPods. If you are looking for a good set of earphones and you have a big...

Comfortable ; Comes with lots of tips ; Carry case ; Phone controls and mic

Expensive

The only thing that isn't great about the Monster Turbine is the price, but you get what you pay for in the earphone market today. The Monster Turbine earphones sound great and will work with your music phone.

Monster Turbine Headphones Review

 

Sounds Like Large Speakers

The Monster Turbine earphones provide brilliant and exceptional quality of sound and bass. They are made of metal which makes them strong and less vulnerable to breaking. Moreover it comes with a nice storage box

This device is heavy and you require a lot of patience in order to fix them properly in the ear. Another major negative factor of this device is that they do not survive for long

The Monster Turbine in-ear headphones are good looking and attractive, offer good sound quality and that is why they are a little more expensive as compared to other Monster's earphones available for the customers.

Product Specifications

Unlike other headphones that can't reproduce deep bass, Monster Turbines accurately reproduce even the lowest bass notes without distortion. You'll hear thunderous low-end for incredible sound with every kind of music, from the thumping bass beats of hip hop tracks to the deepest pipe organ notes in classical compositions. Monster Turbines truly deliver the big sound, power, and clarity that you'd expect from full size high-end speakers. That's why we had to call them speakers, not headphones.
