If I'm wrong, I'd be the first to Praise Monster up and down on this board and others, but I'd have to hear it to believe it. (And I've heard a TON of earphones).

I've heard the Turbine at CanJam, and while they didn't blow me away they didn't suck either. I chose not to buy them because I had to pay for my HD800 and HF-2 at the time, and the $100 CanJam deal was probably worth it. But I never dismiss or talk down a product based on it's brand or price without hearing it first. You would do well to do the same.

Agreed here. I would only talk down a product if it really is a product that isn't worth it and perform to it's descriptions. I honestly wouldn't assume a product is similar to the rest of the product line just because it's the same brand.

I'd love to eat my words, and if I was impressed by them, I'd be the first to sing their praises, but I just cant believe they'd be as good as some of the more respected brands...

I would suggest that no matter what one feels the track record might be - good or bad, the best way to approach a new product is with a neutral disposition. That way, you are more truthful to yourself, the manufacturer and much more importantly, the people who would ultimately read your thoughts/feelings. Reviewing or not, I really feel one should own the words posted by them with a sense of responsibility. I would hate to bias a potential user based on having thoughts WITHOUT actually hearing the product.

In short, if you haven't heard it....you don't have an opinion to offer at all. It's just a common courtesy towards an enthusiast community.

Has anyone been contacted for the review yet?

 

[shaizada]

Seems like I will be doing a review. I was notified yesterday...looking forward to it!

 

[TheMarchingMule]

I was confirmed to be a reviewer earlier this morning.

I did forget to ask them how soon (or how late) they wanted the reviews typed out, though.

 

[FYJX]

Hmmm, no luck for me then

was looking forward to do comparisons to the Phiaton PS200 which i still think is currently the best $250 earphones on the market today.

Hey, don't worry - I didn't hear back either and I'm almost a "reviewerus prolificus" like Skylab. I once asked for a custom title that says, "Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of headphones?" (from Three Amigos)

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

So, who here was "Turbine Pro worthy"?

 

[malldian]

I will be reviewing a pair.
