Market demand sets the price for a product.  If people are willing to pay for $350 pair of Studio Beats, why would Monster not charge that price?  They would be fools to try to compete price wise with similar quality headphones when they have built their brand up through tons of advertising and...

Quote:   The velour pads for me get hot and sweaty as well.  I get some sweat on the Beats as well when worn a long time, but it doesn't get hot.  The most comfortable headphones I've worn would be the Bose Triports.  Unfortunately, they're flimsy and sound bad.    

Quote: I guess I am, is that bad?  

Quote:     The velour is comfortable to wear, but it gets very hot after wearing it a little while.  I can't wear it for long periods of time or I start to sweat like crazy.  They're also not portable at all as well.  The build quality definitely isn't the best on the beats, so I have...

I actually have a pair of Studio's and the only reason I have them is I needed a pair of headphones that were comfortable to wear for long periods of times.  I have other headphones that sound way better like the DT-770's, ATH-ES7, ATH-OR7 and etc, but none are as comfortable to wear.  In this...

Any idea how to clean the filter of wax on these?  I don't think the driver is dead as there is still some sound that comes out when the volume is turned up very high.

Bump

I've had a pair of UM1's for about 4 years now and just recently the sound went out on the right side.  It's not completely out as there is very little sound coming out of that side when the volume is turned up very high.  I've tried cleaning with the ear loop that came with the headphones, but...

I've snapped the headband on 3 of these headphones.  It's incredible how easy these things are to break.  To date, they are still the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever owned.  They get a bit sweaty when worn a long time, but they never press against your ears like other headphones...

Hey everyone, I'd like to get some recommendations for a new portable closed can. I currently own the ATH-ES7's, Beyer Dynamic DT-770, UM1's, V-Moda Vibes. While they are all good in their own way, I'm looking to add a pair of closed can's (not supra-aural) with minimal leakage if possible that...

You might also want to consider if portability is an issue as well, particularly if you're only getting 1 pair of headphones. I don't think you will be a big fan of having a pair of A700's while at your dorm, but listening to crappy ibuds when you are getting around from place to place and need...

I've caught the bug as well for quite a while. It's endless upgrading for most of us until we get to the point where our ears can't tell the difference between the high end equipment that you have and the next step up from that. I guess for most people, it is absurd to even spend $100 dollars on...

Just got my vibes today and am fairly impressed with them even out of the box. I haven't really tried too many iems, so not too much to compare it to though. They do however meet every need of mine for this particular pair of headphones. I needed a pair that could go on and off with ease and...

Can the D-Jays be used for working out? I already have the Um1's, but don't like using those because I don't like hearing my own breathing and not being able to hear anything at all while at the gym where I need to be aware of surroundings more. Also I'm curious how long it takes to insert...

They seem to be pretty widely available on ebay. I got them from Guitar Insider on Ebay as well. You should be able to get it for around $140 or so, just make sure you put that in as an offer instead of the BIN price they have listed. On a sidenote, can anyone recommend me an amp to drive...

Just got these in the mail today. Sound is pretty good even out of the box, not the best isolation, but that's not what these are for anyways. I wanted a pair of headphones that did block out some noise, but not entirely for the times where I need to be somewhat attentive of what's going on...

Wow, I'm pretty surprised nobody has any experience with these headphones. Might be because they are fairly new I guess.

Hey, I've done some searching on here and other places, but can't seem to find any reviews on this headphone at all. I'm interested in it because it looks like it is comfortable to wear(built similar to the Triports in terms of fit) and also the noise cancelling feature. I'm just wondering how...

I have the UM1's and personally I find it very weird to workout, run or do any physical activity actually with the UM1's on. You can hear your own breathing and it just feels awkward at least to me. I wouldn't recommend it personally. I would go for a clip-on option such as the KSC 75's and just...

I edited the original post with some of that info, but the music I mostly listen to is Hip Hop and R&B. My issue with the IEM's ties in with the application of the headphones. I will be using them to play poker at the casinos and for work done on the laptop and etc. So, I need headphones that I...

Hey whassup everyone? I'm kind of new with the whole audiophile scene, but not completely new. I need some recommendations for portable headphones to use along with my iPod. I will be using it with a PA2V2 portable amp that I already have. I'm currently using UM1's with my iPod currently, but...
