thank you very much for taking so much time to take very good pictures and accurate observations, mind blowing first post (applauds) took a $30 hit for all prospective monster turbines (more digital clapping)

Tip, find the right tips!  Play w/ insertion depth, you can alter sonic temperature and attenuate treble to your tastes by doing so w/ the Coppers.

BTW, next year is right around the corner.  Hehe.

This is why forums rock! Thanks!

one of the most helpful posts i have ever come across. Kudos.

thx a lot 

Man, without the comparisons, I doubt anyone would suspect they had bought fakes -- the differences are clear when compared, but otherwise the fakes look pretty good!

As useful as this info is, the problem is that found ONE set of fakes -- if more companies start producing such near-quality fakes, it will be harder and harder to spot the difference.

I for YOU. 

I am thinking ´bout them, but after that...well I am affraid a lot. thx again.

Do you know which seller on Ebay is serious and does sell to a cheap price but authentic Coppers? Or another good internet seller where I can get them below 250 $.

Best regards Guys, rock your ears

BTW thanks for your analyzation of these damn fakes ;-)

I settled on keeping them for $30 and got refunded the rest of my money, hoping to get my hand on a real pair and do a comparison review. Once I got my pro copper from amazon I compiled pics of all the differences...and the fake looks and feels very close to the original, and sounds descent too but not as good though. Check for yourself.

Hey I bought These Monster Turbine Pro Copper from FUTURE SHOP in Canada,  They have the original 1/4" adapter real supertips,  Super tips Holder,

the earbuds are gun metal and not the brushed silver,  the lengths are the same as the real ones.

But there is one thing...  the box model number says MH TBB-P IE CPR   .....  and on the monster website it says MH TRB-P IE CPR .

do you think its fake??

i dont know why the box would say MH TBB-P IE CPR .. and do big stores like FUTURE SHOP would sell fakes?
