Those diamond tears are definitely the most ugly headphones i've ever seen... Maybe they would look cute on a japanese girl, other than that though...

You get a small container of polish and a polishing cloth with the Diamond Tears. Nice added touch. And DT is possibly the most balanced headphone in it's price range.
The tilt-shift effect on Jude's intro makes it almost impossible for me to take this video seriously, or at least sit through it without laughing...
I wonder when this was recorded. It coincides with the recent gizmodo article http://gizmodo.com/5981823/beat-by-dre-the-inside-story-of-how-monster-lost-the-world
Didn't Monster unveil Diamond Tears and Inspiration almost a whole year ago in CES 2012, and their break-up with Beats was around that time too?
I thought I read this was recorded around CES 2012...can't find it in the OP though.
those Monster earphones and headphones are affordable in US.
Honestly, after hearing the story of Monster and Beats, I'm kind of support Monster~

Hrm, so maybe they've planned for that contingency (but do they stick you for replacement polish/cloths? I mean this *is* still Monster). And at $300 there's quite a few good options - you'd really say it's more balanced than the 701, ESW9, K550, A900X, etc? I'm honestly curious btw, not trying to fuss.
It may not sound as good overall as some of the others to some people, but when you listen to the DT you don't hear any distracting balance problems (i.e. lack of bass, too much bass, midbass hump, brightness, rolled off treble, sunken mids). We also have to keep in mind that the DT does this in a small compact soundstage area compared to the larger 'phones. But if a headphone can give you a convincing sense of balance and reasonable clarity, I am willing to give up some of the hi-fi thrills.
Try this story, then:

See, this makes me interested in them - in spite of their looks. Have you heard the ESW9 by chance?
This one? No I haven't. Do you recommend it? I was curious about it for the last year or so but never pulled the trigger on them. I assume it has a nice tonal and FR balance?
