Monster releases "Audiophile" Earbud Headphones - Gasp!

Two things turned me off; Another set of Beats? And the clip.
Oh man, how I hate headphones with clips.
 
And they're not even "Audiophile" earphones, they're called PowerBeats.
I hope Monster releases an actual set of earphones called Audiophile, something like the Turbines - original design, no Dr. Dre prefix on the name.

These are why I still can't take the Monster Turbine's seriously. I've heard the Turbines and I am legitimately impressed, but when a company makes a product like the Turbines and then turns around and makes...these. I kind of feel like the turbines future is wrought with design by committee issues. If they are going to make a product and they want to make something THAT tacky, don't associate their name with it.

Just to clarify, these are in-ear just like the rest of the Beats earphone line.

Who knows. Lebron may be the audiophile! lol I dunno. Calling them the audiophile headphones is slowly turning into a misnomer.



Odds are strong he will set up a tv interview and ask what he should do about them.  Should he use them or not :p

I am so sick of seeing this "beats" crap everywhere I go... Part of me wishes Monster would have just stayed in the overpriced-cable market.

Now now, let's not forget the venerable ksc75.

I'm not gonna rag on those headphones, since I haven't tried them before, but I stand by my statement. It may just be me, but I find clips on headphones (ESPECIALLY on in ear earphones) to be a nuisance and uncomfortable - even those with bendy clips.
