I would love to try them out as I am kind of a Monster fanatic, I have the Beats by Dre Studios, Turbines, jut bought TBP Tributes, and unfortunately I had the Beats by Dre Tours (2 pairs actually which both broke and I ended up exchanging them for the Studios for a good deal, I have a great relationship with David Heydarian who I believe is one of the top managers on Beats by Dre and Turbine earphones line). Let me know if I qualify because I would really like to know how they compare to the Miles' Tributes both amped and unamped. From my initial impression, I just recently bought the TBP Tributes, they greatly benefit from a portable amp as far as volume levels and you can really mess around with the bass response. However, Nate Eccleston (a product specialist at Monster) said the copper's had equal sound stage but were much better in bass response and better suited for a greater variety of music genres. It would be great to compare them directly to the Tributes too.
