I currently have a pair of UE super.fi 5 Pro and decided I wanted something different and with a built in mic. I stubbled on a couple threads about the munitio and decided I'd go for it. After placing my order through there website I noticed there isnt any contact information or return policy listed. Anybody have any experience with the customer service?

bump, anybody?

Hi - You should just email them about the return policy.  Somebody posted on another thread about it... I believe they allow returns within a specified timeframe and charge a small re-stocking fee, pretty typical in terms of policies.
 
Let me see if I can dig up the post.....

Thanks batpig. Now in debating on keeping these or going for the Monster Turbines. Any comparison on those done before?

You've used both? And in what way are they better? You can't simply think you can say they are better without personal experience and the reason behind your accusations.

 

[mywallethurts]

i have both. turbines have sharper treble and less bass quantity. teknines blow them out of the water once eq'd

I guess that's about right, I've heard the Munito's were really boomy though. The Turbines Sound Sig is very good for Metal, infact I think out of the headphones I own they are my favorite for the many genre's of metal I listen to. Just saying no other headphone I've heard has done Ayreon or Dream Theater quiet like this.

I don't find the Munitios to be boomy at all.  They have a LOT of bass for sure, but that's different from "boomy" bass which is BAD bass.  It's not flabby and massive without control, and if you EQ a bit to tighten it up it's even better.
 
I also have A/B'd vs the Monster Turbines (which are an obvious competitor) and like the Munitios a lot better.  I agree with the above -- the Turbines are "brighter" but I found the treble to be a bit harsher.  The Munitios have a "thicker" warmer sound, with better bass (both output and extension) and smoother highs.  And if you think the sound is a bit too congested/thick in the mids (like some have commented) then it's an easy EQ fix.

Sounds exactly like the sound signature I'm looking for. How the inline mic batpig? Everyone hear you ok? 

 

[SkippyMcHaggis]

the inline mic works well on the teknines, at least with my droid phone.  my wife did not hear any difference between the mic and the phone.  don't know about outside noise or wind issues, as i used it inside at my desk.  the mic itself is part of the left ear section of cable after the y split.

 

[eba0922]

Thanks Skippy. I should post up my impression this weekend when they arrive.

Has anyone compared these to other bass-heavy iems? Like Hippo VB, Meelec M9 or Xears TD100 II?

 

[batpig]

I would love to hear such a comparison, especially with the Hippo VB's which often get recommended when folks are looking for heavy bass.
 
Unfortunately never tried any of those myself 

  .... the only other bassy IEM's are the Monster Turbines and the V-Mode Vibe2 (which I thought were terrible)
