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: Do you already have an M6?  M6P is not bad!

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...

People having all these problems with the coppers makes me want to cry :(  I thought I was getting a really nice set of iems; I did tons of research, most everything seemed positive.  Now it seems everything is negative.     On a separate note, everything I've played so far on them has been...

ha I was just pulling your leg a little from that other thread.  :)  If you ever get a chance to listen to a different set of coppers, I'd be really interested in hearing whether you heard the same thing.   Quote:

I was searching to see whether you had an amazon.com (sadly no, which I am sure you are aware of) but it brought up this page:   http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596190&   So...I don't know if that means they will ship any item or just some, but it's something...

mmm i think they are all colors (grey, black, and white) depending on size.  The gels were all in one bag, foams all in another. They are rounder than the foamy ones, which are more oval/oblong.  you should also be able to tell by looking at the bottom rim.  The gel ones have this shiny filling...

yeah this confused me too at first.  yes, both pouches are supertips, but of different kinds.  One has the gel-like substance in the middle, while the other is more foam.  The gel ones are the "new" kind.  Let's see, the other pouches...trying to remember; i think both of the other bags were...

what does your order summary say?  Does it say "Open box" on it?  If not, then yup, they screwed up, lol.  If it DOES say "open box", I imagine someone bought it as a gift and the person didn't want it or something, and they didn't open it.  I think onecall would still classify this as open box...

@Mark, did you ever try listening to these without an amp, straight from a decent source? (I know that the thought must be frighteningly "mainstream" for you, but hear me out )  From what I've read and heard, these babies don't need an amp.  I wonder whether that might be a possible source of...

  First of all, wow, way to give back to the community!  This is extremely generous, as stated by nearly everyone here.   Okay, as for the IEMs…I admit I had to do significant research on all of them, as I didn’t really know anything off the top of my head about them (kind of a n00b to...

No worries!   Frankly, I do it too; I've found to my chagrin that I pretty  much always assume the other posters on tech forums and gaming sites are male.   Us ladies are sadly represented in these arenas!   Quote:

yeah, prices really differ by country.     Quote:
