Some of the newer Monsters are not that bad - though still not exactly what I'd call hi-fi. For the most part, I think people tend to rail against Monsters for charging hi-fi (or at least mid-fi) prices for products that aren't necessarily either. Again, for me, all the ire I have is directed squarely against the two Beats models I've previously owned. Hideous abominations, those.
