Has anyone used or bought the headphones? I know they are pricey but I was wondering what the quality is like and if they are worth it. Also, anyone have the speakers with the iPod/iPhone dock?

Tried them out at best buy a while back and they were great. Way to expensive though.

^^seriously? aww...weak.

I've never been the kinda guy who has the "I don't support this company high horse thing"...but I make an exception when it comes to Monster. I try not to willingly buy their products. Overprice, overhyped, and I hate their business strategy and marketing techniques. That company needs to die in a fire

They're great quality, but for a quality/price ratio, I personally like skull candy.

Yeah, Monster definitely needs to die in a fire.

The earbuds like those that go into your ear seem sketchy to me. haha. I feel like my hearing would be gone in no time.

How much did you pay for them? They have the tour earbuds on ebay for as low as $34.99, while they are $189.99 full price. Is that legit?

I got them for $110 shipped in box. That was a few months ago. They are nice, but honestly they are a bit long in the ear. They fit me fine, but I've read reviews saying they were uncomfortable for others.

Yeah I just read about there being fake Beats headphone being sold on ebay and other places. I figured 34.99 was not real.

Don't do it.

Get some Shure's and save some money (while retaining at least the same sound quality and likely better) or hell get Grados if you want to waste a bunch of money.

What are some other earbuds with really nice cords? I've seen some with like weaved cord or something. I need some for a gift. I'll spend up to $120.

What about the lower model Monsters?

I like the Dres, but the cord is bulky....which is the main reason I got them. Sounds quality is perfect, but for full price I'm sure there is something better out there.

I have the studios and they are awesome. You should definitely buy a pair when best buy comes out with a coupon like 10% or something.
