Quote: Great deal, I would've bought these instead of getting the one day $85 deal on the X10's.......Might have to get them anyways as I had them before and with the 1 time replacement warranty it's hard to pass up for a bass head like me. I'm a previous owner of the MTPG and while I was...

Quote: They appear to be new and not refurbs which is surprising at that price - a great deal. 

Quote:   Tempting...I bought the refurbished Turbine Pros for $50 through Monster's outlet site and they held up for a bit but the plug just went sour on mine after about 5 months of heavy daily use. In comparison, I had a brand new pair of Pro Golds last about a year and a half after the...

Quote:   Yes, they instructed me to return the defective ones along with a copy of my original receipt to confirm mine were real and from an authorized dealer. I kept all of the accessories and buds. Monster emailed me when they received my set and then again when they shipped the...

I'm looking to get a new pair of Coppers with Control Talk. What's the best price going on these? I see $349 at Amazon and they are now  listed as an Authorized Dealer on the Monster site, which was not the case a year and a half ago when I bought the Golds through One Call (which is no longer...

I have the Turbines and the Turbine Pro Golds. The only tips that give me thumping bass are the regular hollowed out tips (not the foam or gel super tips). When you take them out of your ear, their should be a slight suction pull (the first couple of times I thought the pressure might be...

Very informative, thanks for the info!

@OP: I started using my HTC Droid Incredible but found that they were slightly lacking in power to drive the Golds. Bass was decent, but lacking the impact I heard using my home stereo. I spent some time at the Apple store and found that the Nano(6G), the iPod Touch(4G) and the iPhone 4(Verizon)...

Went to Costco (in Inglewood, CA) expecting to pay $55 for the 8gb Sansa Clip + but there was an instant $10 off rebate so with tax it all came out to just over $50. I think the rebate ends in 2-3 weeks. (If you want one shipped you can get the same price on Amazon, but I didn't want to wait).

I am very curious to see how the Golds stack up after having read so many threads on the pros and cons of the Turbine line. The regular Turbines I just bought refurbished for $50 are really growing on me. I've been using a Sony IEM for the last few months and it's hard to go back after a few...

Quote: Just ordered the Golds with Controltalk for $219 shipped from onecall. Looking forward to comparing them to the regular Turbines which sound pretty decent to this bass head - I just wanted more significant bass impact. I was planning on going for the Coppers but wanted to make...

Thanks! Had to grab one of those.

So what is the lowest price for a brand new copper controltalk version through an authorized seller? I plan on calling onecall and J&R for their lowest price, but I'd like a reference point.

Sony IEMs are solid and cheap if you need to drown out ridiculous amounts of noise. I have a pair of $30 Sony's that control an iphone with mic and they have all the isolation you need when playing music. I had a job for 3 months where I worked all day in a room next to a huge speaker...

Well, I was just about to pull the trigger and get one of these models, but now I'm going to wait a bit. Thanks for the heads up.
