I'm looking for the best pair of IEM's I can buy that is less than $100.   They can be on sale for less or available on amazon for less or anything like that.  They are a gift to my girlfriend...who will use them for all kinds of music (hip-hop, alternative, rock & roll, etc.). I know that...

I'm looking for some tips to replace the stock ones on my Monster Turbines. Does anyone have any suggestions...I'm looking at the monster supertips and the Sony hybrids, but perhaps the stock silicone ones are the best?

do you think the sound quality will be worse or the build quality? they probably wouldn't last very long huh

I want to get refurbished headphones by Monster...will the build quality and sound quality be the same as new ones? I have new ones right now that I just got like 2 days ago but the price is so good I want to return the ones I got and order new refurbished ones...worth it?

oh crap! what a deal! do you think the refurbished will be the same quality as new ones?

k i got great isolation with the bigger tips for the turbines. but i put bigger ones on the bose IE2's also and those increased tenfold as well. they sound really similar to me...and actually the bose are louder at the same volume which is interesting because the turbines are actually in the...

?

okay thanks...anyone else have any input on the Turbines compared to the Tours or IE2's?  Or if I should buy some tips?

ps the second time i listened to the turbines there was a great improvement...i think i just had a bad fit the first time. these are effing amazing...never experienced anything like it...even with my friends nice over ear headphones..so stoked

thanks guys! okay so what is/how much are custom tips?

how long should i burn these for? is it okay if i just cycle thru my whole itunes library

well crap now im questioning whether the problem with the Tours was isolation problems as well...they're cheaper than the Turbines.  How about these two compared?

hmm okay i'll fool around with the different tips...should i buy some special tips if none of them fit right? and do you recommend the Turbines over the IE2?  How about over the RE0...those are on the way and I was gonna compare the two.

I received my Monster Turbines today and was very excited to try them out.  I'm not an expert on headphones and couldn't give you a technical explanation for anything, but all I can say is I was very pleased with the detail that the Turbines provided.  With that being said, the bass IMO is way...

Does a thread like this exist for on-ear headphones?

I don't think I can get too technical...but I listen to mostly hip-hop so do want good bass but don't want it to be muffled sounding or overpowering.  I like the details in the music you can hear with quality headphones that you normally can't hear.  I don't like anything really sharp, as if the...

and did you really find them at $58. the cheapest i saw was $134

thank god for receipts right

So I've been looking for some high quality in-ear headphones so I went out and bought myself some Tours by Monster/Dre Beats based off of the company's reputation and peoples' insistence, but was very disappointed by the results.  They're hardly better than my iPod in-ear pair.  I also bought...
