I have the white version for around a month...............This is easily the most balanced, most revealing Monster headphones by a very long shot, with the least wobbly bass among its Monster siblings. A solid mid-fi product (never dreamt of it being an audiophile product), with the highs leaving a bit to be desired - the extension is fine actually, but when it does roll of it rolls off rather steeply instead of gradually. Mids are rather airy and detaled. Bass is balanced and nicely extended, with way less mid-bass hump than other Monster offerings, and the bass impact is great. Soundstage is so-so, nothing spectacular, but layering and placement is clearly defined.
