Monster - Inspiration Over-the-Ear Headphones - Silver

I bought these headphones for use on a daily basis while at work. I work a typical 8-5 desk job, and I listen to music throughout most of the day while sitting at my desk. Pros: First off, these headphones sound fantastic. I have owned a set of the original Beats Studios since 2008 and these headphones have a much cleaner sound. The music is very crisp and really makes you feel like you are getting your moneys worth ($300). The headphones are also very sturdy and feel well made. They have a cool metal look and are aesthetically pleasing. I received many comments about how "cool" my new headphones were. Unlike the older Beats, these headphones will play music whether they have a battery or not. They do sound significantly better with a battery in them and the noise cancellation turned on, but they do work without a battery. Cons: These headphones are extremely uncomfortable. I have a big head (wear a size 7 3/4 fitted hat) and the headphones really squeezed my head tight. They are MUCH heavier than my old Beat Studios, and I have always thought that my Beats were heavy to begin with. After wearing for 2-3 hours at a time, I have to take the headphones off to give my head a break. It felt like you have a 2 pound weight just sitting on top of your head, which may not sound heavy, but after having them on for a long period of time, your head will become very fatigued. The earphones are also a very tight fit. They do not fit comfortably around my ears. There is a very nice leather padding on the earphones, but the inside is a hard plastic. Overall: I bought these headphones at the beginning of November and returned them in mid December. The sound is fantastic, and I really believe they have a much cleaner sound than Beats headphones will offer (I have owned a pair for 5+ years). However, these headphones were extremely uncomfortable, and I felt it was not worth keeping something that was so uncomfortable considering they were $300. If you have a smaller head, these headphones will probably be great for you, but, someone with a larger skull might run into the same problems that I did.

A good headphones with very good sound qualities. I like the carrying case to keep it safe while traveling. However, it is expense and would like to see it priced at least $100 or more cheaper. They are a little heavy as well.

These headphones are comfortable and sound quality is clear love them!!

My daughter loves these headphones. Great price, look and sound.

Purchased these for my mom and she loves them, she wears them on all of her fights and said she would not choose any other pair

My son likes the headphones very much. They seem to work well while he is wearing glasses and doesn't hurt his ears

They were nicer than beats I thought. Good quality feeling head phone. I bought them to run in and they do what I need them for. I don't think the sound quality is that great, and I am sure I could have gotten a less expensive pair. But I am satisfied. I did just purchase another set of beats so hopefully these are still better after using both.

Better than Beats Studio. But they leak just the same. They look great, they are very comfy. I loved the sound. When I turned my iPod all the way up, the bass was soooo thumping that it felt as if the earcups were bouncing of my ears. The trebles, mids, highs are decent. But they are tuned for bass lovers. Just don't think you can listen to your Lil Wayne song up on full volume during a family party. Because anyone within 30 feet of you would hear every word of the song.
