Thanks for this, it looks so fancy,  real audio companies could learn some imaginery and aesthetics from monster.

OK dude he's got to be joking. Who would believe this?

Tons of people if you go by the youtube video's littered with fakes.

I just got them to cancel my payment .... All I have found on the web is $300 plus pricing for the MDs ... where are people getting a good deal on REAL ones please ?

From monster directly, but the deal is over.

That's how mine look like. I played with them for 30 minutes then I started to miss my Yamahas so I boxed them back up.

You should at least give them a couple days of burn-in, and listen to them a bit longer to allow yourself to adjust to the sound-sig. One thing I've learned is that we often reject new sound-sigs that are different from what we already know and enjoy. And at least try them with some jazz and hip-hop. They sound fabulous with Miles' Stella by Starlight.

I received mine as well, and so far my impressions are superb.
These are very good phones and for the $115 i paid for them they sure are excellent value. It took me a while to test all the gazillion tips it comes with, but I found about 4-5 that are excellent fit, the rest well they are just staying there. The accessories are great. I on the other hand would not have paid $299 or $399 that they were being sold for. I am not so fond of the cable, kinda feels flimsy for such expensive phones, the Shure SE215 has a better cable imo. But these boys are so much clearer, it just sounds good. Glad to have picked them up from the sale. With lifetime warranty I am more than happy, but still hoping they will not break at all

I wholeheartedly agree.
I value the MTPG's at around £90, but £120 with all their tips etc.

from the monster site...can't believe you went for that site LOL

Indeed with any DD's you really should give them burn-in - its not fair to give a DD a first impression, then box em up.
BA's on the other hand, you will need some brain burn-in instead

That's what I love, or that's why people buy them (head-fi) - due to their poor-ish build quality (speaking from the turbines here), if it wasn't for the lifetime warranty, or at least a long one, much less people I fee would buy them.
Its kind of sad that they NEED this warranty in order to "survive"
 
I swear monster cable, made cables. So why don't they work on the durability a lil more...

Wow .... Love thy neighbor my ass !   You guys are fuggin brutal.  I run a business and do not have time to mess with researching what is real or not. Look a few posts up on this thread ... Some member just stated he paid just over $100 for his own REAL pair, so why in hell shouldn;t I expect the ones i bought, ALSO for $100 to be genuine ?  
Sheesh guys ... a little less bashing and a little more help offered to someone to find a good price would be the friendly thing to do, but then maybe the Headfi community has gone to **** since i was last involved .....

Hey, I never meant to bash you or whatever. I just genuinely thought you were joking....I actually thought YOU were making fun of US. To be honest, I don't think any of what was said could be considered "bashing" you.

I'm not bothered by all the criticisim, just the lack of any real help from my fellow audio friends. Having a laugh at my expense is no big deal, but at least tell me where to get REAL MDs for $250 or less  LOL.
