What is it that you'd like to improve about your Turbines? Please note that my Turbine Pros are the Golds, not the Coppers. Still, they aren't as bass-heavy as the original Turbines - just something to be aware of. Cleaner and flatter - yes. Bassier - no.
Soundstaging is definitely better in the Golds - the regular Turbines tend to compress everything closer to the listener while the Golds have fairly even spacing. Isolation is the same except for the fact that you get a lot of nice tips with the Golds. IMO the tri-flanges are still the most isolating and they are exactly the same on both. I certainly like the Golds better overall but $280 is a bit of a stretch IMO. But of course to you they are worth whatever you're willing to pay for them - at the $200+ level value is a personal thing. Not sure if the Coppers are objectively better or just a different flavor of the same sound but that's my 2c.
@joker I currently have the Monster turbine and I was thinking seriously about upgrading to the Monster turbine pro coppers for $280 is it really worth it? can you compare soundstage,isolation,sq etc. thanks
