Quote: price-wise, totally agree.  however, it seems like most people have had a bit of a hassle with having to have that batch replaced; still, worth the savings in money imo

if they send anything at all :P  Although I guess they can deny they are fake, while it would be harder to prove they had sent an item when they had not.

I found that for some reason, they fit a lot better for me upside side down (so that the cords go over my ears).  I don't know why, but that seals them, at least with the medium foam supers. Quote:

keep at it; once you find a good fit i think you'll be happy.  it took me awhile, but I finally did find a good set of tips for me   Quote:

Quote: yeah this is a pain in the behind, just like you said.  Such a pain that after I had sent mine in for repair and they sent me back a new pair with the tips fully on, I never took them off.  I knew I'd never be able to get a pair on that well again :P

Quote: i THINK (key word "think") that mine did have the hole in the top; I think monster wraps them like that so that stores can use the little hook to hang them up.   EDIT: I think Reprobate might have it right that they could have been out of open box items.

a couple of mine are like that, but not all of them.  Specifically, the smaller black pair and the largest light silver pair have dimples.  I wasn't sure what I should do either.  I'm not using the gels right now, so I haven't done anything.  If you do contact monster, let me know what they say.

have you considered the Monster turbine golds?  Don't get me wrong, I love my coppers, but the golds are cheaper and some people say that out of the box they have more bass.  They are also currently available with controltalk.  I think the coppers are supposed to get a control talk option soon...

Quote: wait, so are you talking about the plain silicone ones, or the supetips?  The silicone tips that came "installed" on my coppers were not supertips.  

  Here are some comparison photos that I hope you will find helpful. This first photo shows the two smallest sizes of each type.  Foams are on top, Gel on the bottom.This second image shows the same tips standing upright next to each other.  The foams are on the right, gel on the left...

ah!  Thanks for the clarification

no idea, I've just read some posts where people say not to listen to low quality stuff b/c it will hurt them, for example, the post that says:   "Just ramp em up from low, medium then 70-75% max volume over a few days.  Lets them have a a bit of a rest between sessions.  Just don't play...

Quote: yeah, but do you think listening to lower quality stuff like that or like videos online would actually HARM the drivers or something? (Particularly during first 50 hours or something)   EDIT: oh, and I agree that the MSRP is probably high.  I wouldn't have gotten them (or an...

Quote: Um, aren't we all to some extent?  Mmm just deleted a bunch of psychological stuff that no one would care about, lol; I can't help it!  But you are right that I need to be cognizant of such effects, and say to myself, "hey, I'm enjoying them, that's what matters".  I knew that when...
