Monster sure knows how to market looks... I can imagine kids being like OOOHH MUST GET THAT NO MATTER HOW IT SOUNDS LIKE. But why do they have to be so freaking expensive though, they wouldn't be that bad if just the price of the products would be twice as low.

"Optimizes and upgrades compressed MP3 to CD quality resolution."

 

Okay...

I'm sure they will be overpriced as hell, and won't sound very good.

 

But, as claimed before, kids will want them no matter what P

 

Not on stores yet, right?

Probably does it by overpowering the bass so you CAN'T HEAR the flaws. ^^

We'll see what actual photos of them look like. They're not gonna stay that sleek IRL. I admit that's a pretty cool looking design, though.

Monster knows how to mold their plastic, that's for sure. They are smoking some good hash to think anyone with a brain would buy those. Oh wait... the mindless drones are aplenty.

 

The Daft Punk edition looks so ace though.

 

Isn't that logo on the side the Dolby Headphone logo? Hmm... my interest is piqued. Not that I'd EVER spend that much on anything that isn't tried, tested, and approved.

Who knows...maybe they will be acceptable for gaming. I can hardly believe they will be any better for music than the rest of their garbage lineup though.

Because they like the look and aren't too concerned with sound quality they're mindless drones? Get off your high horse. Face it, these look nice and will probably WOW people who are used to iBuds/other $10 earbuds.

I love the design of these things. I would need to hear how they actually sound before going any further. Any idea on when they are coming out?

Monster will again make huge piles of cash from these.

They COULD be like the Turbines of full-sized? Not probable, even though I would like to see it. Overpriced none the less, it looks like a crossbreed of a Shure 840 and Senn HD 650 with added lights to appeal to the eye.
