Monster Turbine Pearl In-ear Speakers

THIS pair of headphones is probably one of the most expensive in-ear headsets around.

To justify the price, Monster has promised an audio performance that would satisfy the demands of  audiophiles and audio professionals.

This is a tall order indeed, given the inherent limitations of in-ear headphones.

For a start, Monster is introducing new Super Tip eartips that offer better noise isolation, which improves overall sound quality. They come in two sizes, small and large.

In addition, traditional Monster eartips in three sizes are included, along with foam tips and two sets of triple-layered eartips.

Getting rid of unwanted noise is only the first step. The overall performance of headphones depends on the drivers and the engineering behind them.

In this regard, the Turbine Pearl does sound better than most in-ear headsets – with clear separation of different instruments and fairly good bass – although, in terms of comfort, on-ear or over-the-ear headsets are still superior.

Monster has sweetened the deal further by offering a one-time lifetime replacement guarantee, even if the headset is damaged by the user. This is a bold statement of confidence in one’s product.
How much: $339
