I would be interested in this as well.
 
I've owned over 20 full-size headphones in the past year and a half, including quite a few professional monitoring headphones, because I love hearing music as it was recorded.  I never liked ear buds that came with portable players, and that has caused me to hesitate to try other in-ear models.
 
My main listening rig is a PC with optical out connected to a custom built Texas Instruments amp, though I also have a laptop that I use frequently with a Firestone Fireye II.  My portable listening comes via a Creative Zen, sometimes connected to a Firestone Battery Cute.

Definately interested. In the past I´ve owned the Sennheiser IE 8 (first my cat bit the cord broken, then I forgot them in the washing machine) and Shure 530 IEMs (couldn´t stand the very deep insertion). Right now I´m looking for a IEM, so I´ve been reading all the current reviews etc. I´ve never tried any Monster product, so it would be a new and exciting venture. I listen to everything from classical to hip hop, but for portable use I mostly listen at the gym so I gravitate towards energetic and bass heavy music. What I loved in the Sennheiser IE 8 was the bass and soundtage for hip hop, and Monster turbines, on paper, sound exactly like what I´m looking for. If I lived in the states, I´d probably already have tried one of their models thanks to the aggressive pricing there. But here in the EU they are very expensive.
 
My main rig is an Audio-gd REF-7 Dac fed via an Audio-gd Digital Interface, Stax SRM-600 and SR-507 earspeakers. Before arriving at Stax, I owned the Sennheiser HD 800, Audeze LCD-2, Beyer 880 edition 2005 and Sennheiser HD 650. After a long journey I´m completely satisfied with my main rig, so my headphone interest these days strongly gravitates towards the portable realm.
 
If selected, I´d be writing a review.
 
Last but not least, I forgot to check if this competition is USA/Canada only... It probably is (so it rules me out). Oh well, good luck to everyone

I am interested
I never use a Turbine earphone but I am using monster cables and power conditioners. My main rig is Audio-gd digital interface> Audio-gd NFB10> Akg K702 Balanced. Portable rig is Creatie X-FI > Fio E5> Phonak PFE

 

[Schiso]

I am also interested.
 
I listen to almost all kinds of genre.
 
I am a good reader, I always read reviews online. I would love to create my own for the community. I have my iPod Touch 4G as my DAP.
 
For me, a good audiophile IEM can be seen without the use of an AMP.
 
I hope I can get one. I haven't tried any of the monster products. I would like to give my opinions regarding them.
 
Thank you

[DrHouse]

I'm def interested
 
Have owned a set of turbines  in the past.
 
Set up: PC, Fiio E7 + E9 combo, Sennheiser HD598
On the Go: Fiio E7 + Ipod Classic + IE8
 
Music: Rap/Hip Hop, Metal, Ambient/Electronica, Lounge, Dubstep, Grunge, Soundtrack
 
Would definitely like to have a pair of turbines after seeing so much positive feedback.

 

[The Larch]

I'm in. I would use these with mt portable audio equip.: iPod touch, ZuneHD, and Clip+ as well as my portable amps: Pico Slim, Arrow G1, and my fiio E5.
 
I listen to Rock, Metal, & Hip Hop,
 
I've never had the Turbines.

 

[chelboed]

I'm interested. I have the standard Turbines now. I listen to DJ, Electronic, Rock, Funk, Blues, some Country, Jazz, Acoustic, Alt., Dance, Hip Hop.
 
I use a Sansa Clip +, Sansa Fuze, Sansa e260, and Sprint EVO with Fiio E5.

 

[illuminati]

interested in this, count me in!
let's see if these can survive a student-goes-to-school live.

 

[Marcus_C]

I'm interested!
 
I use sony sources mainly: the a818, a829 and a846. I can plug them through a diy amp/dac combo but I doubt I would, my daps are powerful enough for all my eaprhones.
 
I've never used any of the turbine lineup, although have used a lot of earphones in the last 7 years. I listen to a lot of everything but a lot of electronic/drum&bass/dubstep etc. The only things I don't listen to are metal and bassline, although I do listen to metal occasionally!!

 

[blazingazn]

I'm interested in this.
 
I've owned and currently use the original Monster Turbine In-Ear Speaker! I also have the Dr. Dre Beats Solos and Dre Beat Tours In-ears.
 
I prefer the truest sound to the original possible. Sometimes, I also prefer an elevation in bass response as long as it's not overpowering.
 
Currently I own a Sansa Clip+, Sansa Fuze as my portables.  An ASUS 1201N with an asus usb soundcard as my home rig.
I have a Little Dot MK3 amp and use the Dre Solos and the Shure SRH840s.

I would like to participate in this with the Monster. I am an audiophile for 35 years have the proper gear to audition these and write a detailed review here.

 

[kingice10]

Hi I am interested...I have heard them awhile back and like to participate in making a review on them.

 

[WhtShp97]

I'd be intrested in this trial, I curruntly own  the Shure SE420 iem's, but have read great reviews on the monster series IEM.  I listen to all forms of music, but tend to lean more towards jazz and bands such as Dave Matthews Band.
 
Thanks!
