im extremely naive and have just purchased my monster turbines from an unauthorized dealer for $110. they are genuine but they are obviously used. the earbud is chipped and one of the filters are indented.   but the thing that pisses me off the most is that there is more bass on the right...

I really think that I have a preference for fast headphones, considering that I mainly listen to metal, prog, and rock. My SRH440, I believe drove that point home for me. Well my birthday is coming up, and I've completely gotten tired of the NE6, they are really muddy and not suitable for metal...

I have the monster turbines and think they are amazing but i stumbled upon the dba-02s and from what i read they seem to be pretty good. I was just wondering how they stand up to the turbines in all aspects of sound and mainly how they compare to the turbines in terms of bass: boomieness and...

Hello,...   which one is gr8 if i am looking for headphone which doesnt lack in bass... substantial noise isolation and less leakage... i like bass heavy but it should not be something that gives me headache after listening for an hour...   Monster turbine with foam buds... ( i already...

Hey guys, Im new to the forum and also new to the high end In Ear monitor experience. I currently have a pair of Monster turbine, and I quite like them, except Im not too much of a bass freak. I found that the Sennheiser IE7 have really good stage presence and the bass isnt as harsh as the...

Just to fill you in, I bought these Monster Turbines cheap off eBay sold as new for £35 ($45-50) and expected them to be fake. As far as I can tell, they are fakes and show a couple of telltale signs but I would just like some confirmation on my assumptions.   Looking at the box itself, it...

I'm currently using Sennheiser IE8s with ACS custom tips and I'm just not that happy with them. I really miss the Westone 3s which I got rid of for two main reasons. The first was that ACS could not get their custom sleeves to fit. The second was that the cable started to disconnect after 18...

Just got my package and I wanted to put up some pics of the packaging etc.. Looks pretty nice and the mini triple flanges are a real surprise, I Wish more companies (Cough cough.. ety) would make them. Enjoy, I'll post impressions later in the week. I've been listening to these for about 30...

Hey Head-Fi! Last time I wanted some headphones you guys helped out a lot and I couldn't be happier. Here I am again looking for a pair of IEMs. I mostly listen to Rap, Trance, Eurodance, pop, and just about every other genre of electronic music (hardstyle, glitch, ... you get the point). Things...

  Hello,  I purchased Monster Turbine (58$) recently and i am very disappointed. Though, the sound quality is excellent, bass is good( which is my priority) but the casing on the left ear piece was broken within 2 hrs. Noise isolation is also less and leakage is also high as i use my...

Hey everybody, first time poster here. I'm hoping to get some advice on my next in-ear phones purchase. My last pair were a set of Monster Turbines. I was very content with the sound of these but the durability was lacking. They lasted about a week before one of them went out. VERY weak...

Its the final countdown I am positive I am getting some kind of turbines and I need help. Questions??? 1.Do the coppers have more bass than the regular turbines. 2.Do the golds have more bass than the regular turbines.   I listen to almost all hip-hop and rap and most at 320 kbps and...

nvm

So I got the $150 Tour Beats for Christmas, and am returning them, obviously, because for $150 I should be hearing the goddamn bass. Trying to figure out where I should go from here: I listen to a lot of trip hop, dubstep, rap, classical, some ambient, classic rock, some industrial occasionally...

Hifi newbie here. Sorry if this was asked before but I didn't find an answer. I'm going from a pair of Shure E4C with triple flange tips to the Triplefi 10s. I can't use them right now as none of the tips are comfortable. 1) Does anyone make the triple flange tips for the Triplefi 10s...

I am in the market for a new pair of $100 IEMs. I am coming from bass-heavy IEMs so I'm after something which will let me feel the bass. I am leaning towards the SoundMAGIC PL50 but the appreciation thread has some mixed feelings about the low-end. I'm also interested in the Etymotic MC5 because...

Hi Everybody,   Just wanted to bet some help from people who know their stuff. :)   A little bit about me; I'm a University student. I'm bearably good at guitar, and have an overall love of music. I enjoy just about anything, other than hip hop and country. My tastes range from GNR to...

So I'm in the market for a pair of new earphones and I'm torn between these two models. I've seen mixed reviews on both pair and it seems like it is really dependent on the intended use. Now I turn to you, o wise and noble community!   I need something that can deliver the bass found in...

Just completely exhausted atm.  Been up since 3am, drove 300 miles, pranced around CES for 7 hours.  Only North and Central Halls.  Not enough time for South and the Venetian so no high-end toys today.  To be elaborated upon once I regain consciousness.  Till then.  Some quickies.   UERM v...

hello,    I need to know if my monster turbines are real or fake. I bought them off amazon.com. Also, i am planning on selling these so some people are asking about its genuinity. So can someone tell me the difference with pics if possible? I am ready to upload pics of my earphones if...

Hi all, So I have a fairly new monster turbines (normal model, not the pros) and I have been testing it out... it took some time to find the right tips, the stock ones were directly too big for me... finally I settled on the XS supertips (gel or foam, both work well) and while I am liking the...

Well, I was never really an IEM person, I actually made a thread about a month or so ago looking for some full sized cans and I bought the ATH-M50s which are AMAZING. Anyways, monster was having their F&F sale so I though I'd try out these Turbines for $40 after reading some reviews on here and...

hi guys, i'm kinda new to this forum and the whole earphone thing, so please forgive me stupidness. so i own the monster turbines and found out that all the eartips doesn't fit me. so instead i bought some comply eartips. Those comply ones are really comfy but that always slide out of my ears...

anyone got any techniques on improving strain reliefs on IEMs with poor build quality? My initial thought was heatshrink tubing, but the small diameter stuff would be impossible to get over the IEM itself. Tape is only ever gonna be temporary at best. Any other suggestions?
