Really? Did I just do that? That said, gees, I hate bias in audio. Bias goes both ways people. both the fanboism and the blind hating.

Stereophile's coverage of the audio parts of CES is excellent as always.

I am sorry...I can't respect a guy that stands on a segway because the the people he chooses to promote his company are heads taller than he is...

You don't have to advertise to contribute. Have you not noticed the "Contributor" Titles?

He has a medical problem. "Lee does have one problem that slows him down. A degenerative nerve problem, which he says stems from radiation exposure during his time as a fusion engineer, makes walking a slow, tedious task for him."

Cheers, chinesekiwi! That's the right attitude to take - give credit where credit is due. I've avoided trying the Monster IEMs because I'm not a fan on their headphones, but I've seen enough positive reviews to try them next time I get a chance. If they're good, they're good. Maybe some praise will get them to release an audiophile-grade headphone.

Still, I don't blame them for selling the Beats, et al. They make a segment of consumers happy and are profitable. That's business. I just wish they'd find an economic reason to manufacture a high-end headphone. Same goes for Bose and Skullcandy. If they made something good, I'd listen to it. I have headphones from Sennheiser, AKG, Grado, Beyerdynamic, Sony, Audio-Technica, and Stax. If another manufacturer makes a good headphone, I'll take interest.

And, yeah, Mr. Lee needs the Segway. I thought it was eccentric at CanJam '09 when he came, but later learned that he needs it. I like to see those with medical conditions getting out and about, so I'm happy he can get around.

I'll reserve my comments about Monster's litigation... I have strong opinions about appropriate use of the legal system.
