What's great about it: life changing sound quality, GREAT price
What's not so great: honestly nothing
I bought these today and I have to say I'm quite impressed. I've had much experience with both beats by dre and monster; almost having all of the beats in ear models (except justbeats and powerbeats) and have had the original turbines. But NONE of them compare to this. In means of style, they are beatiful. The color is a slight off white and the cable literally shines!
But these headphones aren't just about the style, the sound is liquid and extremely balanced; a problem that I deffinitely found in the beats tours. The highs soar (literally), the mids are probably the strongest feature of them. The mids are very powerful without becoming overwhelming. The lows are existent, but also not too existent. I like my music like that though. They truly do have a natural sound to them. The bass is thumpy but tight; not uncontrolled like in the beats tours (and pretty much all the other beats). These are good for ALL genres. I have a diverse music taste from the depths of john mayer to lady gaga, and I have to say reproduce the sound u'll love.

Durability is great on these headphones. Though not having the tangle free cable that the diddybeats, heartbeats, and tours have; the cable is very convenient, durable, and pretty not tangable (if thats a word).
Overall, these headphones shine in almost all possible categories. Sound compared to headphones nearly twice the cost. Buy them NOW.

Review 2 for Monster Turbine Pearl Audiophile Earbud Headphones
solid bang for my buck
Customer Rating
4.0
What's great about it: very close to high end sound for a much more reasonable price, a multitude of fitting options
What's not so great: control talk module too close to the ear, wire feels shorter
was looking for a good backup earbuds that i could exercise with but not give up too much audio quality, i needed a beat-em-up pair of earbuds.
the shure 530's which i own give the best audio quality i have ever heard but the price of them preclude them from risking use during excercise and the fitting procedure wouldn't allow them to stay on for more then 10 seconds anyway.
i also own the sennheiser cx 680's which after my research into them, had concluded they would be the best audio quality i could get for pure sports performance. They stayed in just fine under some harsh conditions but the audio hit was still a little more then i wanted to give up. whenever i reached for them or happened to have them on me in non sports environments, it was just no fun to listen thru them.
I realized i was going to have to compromise on sports fit a bit and while these turbine pearl's don't quite have that fantastic fit of the cx 680's, it's ability to give such a quality sound while having the sports option with the clip on over the ear attachments made it a win-win for me. if i have the patience at the time and have access to my shure 530's, i'de be a fool not to use them. but now if I dont have access to them or want something i can pop in a bit quicker I no longer feel i am conceding as much as I used to on the audio quality front.
I've kind of found my audio nirvana, I've found a pair that I am not sacraficing as much as you'de think from not wearing the 530's and yet I have something I can easily alter for a quick bike ride. Best yet, If I stop on a bike ride and decide to pop out the tunes a bit as I relax, I have a great pair of earphones to listen to.
All this said, be prepared to spend a good evening deciding on which of the quite extensive selection of earbud attachments provided is your ideal fit. I went back and forth for a bit and settled on one but I feel it was time well spent. They sound fantastic now.
Flaws : the controltalk module is a tad bit too close to the ear for my comfort to reach up to when trying to adjust volume or skipping tracks. Also, the wires are a little on the short side if wanting to set your mp3 player on a treadmill interface(i.e., if you don't have it attached to yourself when exercising, the wire is probably going to be too short). I guess finally, not really a fan of the right angle connector. The last one is more of a silly beef i have with that setup.

What's great about it: Sound Quality & IN-Line Mic Controls
What's not so great: Having to find the right earbuds from 20 different styles
In my opinion these headphones are a beast in terms of quality and design. The right earbud is hard to find the perfect fit at first. but after a week of usage I found the best earbud for my ear. This is so much better than using those lousy iPhone default headphone with mic. With these new Monster Turbine /Audiophile you can control your volume and change tracks. It looks amazing and these gets noticed alot when i'm on the go. Basically i prefer to use this headphone for my iphone because the sound quality is 100 x better. And best of all i found out these even work on my iPad. So for these that have Bose headphones and use it on the blackberry phones forgot those and buy one of these. (*Yeah these mic works on blackberry) Monster products are superb in quality, thats why all my tvs are hooked up to Monster HDMI cables.
