Sony MDR-1000X
Anyone know how well these would work while push mowing my lawn? I've been using IEM's with triple flange tips and they work well but maybe some actual noise cancelling phones would work better? Would they block out the mower? Would wind noise be an issue?- Nocturnx

Ultimate DIY: the 3.5mm 1/8" mini jack plug collection thread
The jack on my Monster Turbines seems to have lost its connection for the left channel. I'm going to attempt to replace the jack on it. The stock jack is tiny injection molded and I can't get it open so I'm going to have to snip it off. Any suggestions on a replacement? Any comment on...- Nocturnx

New earphones for bass head
I got the Monster Turbines from the outlet store and then just got a 2 yr. warranty from squaretrade for $14. You should try these Sony Hybrid tips, they make all the difference and they seemed to enhance the bass for me.- Nocturnx

Monster Turbines (NOT PRO) or Klipsch Image S4
I have the Turbines and love them. I think you would really enjoy them and they are hard to beat for $50. I have not heard the S4 but from everything I've read the Turbine is hands down better than the S4 if your a bass head like I am. Also your comparing a $150 IEM to a $60 IEM. If I...- Nocturnx

Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread
Just got them yesterday and I'm very impressed. They rock, I love how they sound. Mine did come with the straight plug from the Monster Outlet.- Nocturnx

monster outlet store?
I just got my turbines from the Monster Outlet store yesterday so ask away. They came in a Monster black suede pouch with red stitching. No actual retail box, just the box they were shipped in and factory zip bag packaging that said Factory Refurbished on it. They look brand new, possibly...- Nocturnx

Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread
Just if anyone were curious, I called SquareTrade and if the earbuds broke I would have to ship'm to them and they would send me a check for the purchase price and then the warranty would be considered fulfilled. So it's not a true 1 year of warranty as it would only cover the item until it...- Nocturnx

Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread
Quote: Here is the Copper thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/470614/monster-turbine-pro-copper It's a good read. From what I've read the isolation is good if you find the right tips which is why I ordered the Sony Hybrids. I saw some talk about Monster Hybrid tips in a...- Nocturnx

Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread
Yeah I ordered refurbs from the outlet and they already sent me a tracking number. So I'm probably getting a set of the old batch with the straight plug but for $55 I don't care. I'm not completely familiar with the squaretrade warranty but I think they just refund what you paid for them...- Nocturnx

I just ordered a pair of the Turbines from the Monster Outlet and a set of Sony Hybrid tips. I'm coming from 2 sets of...- Nocturnx
