There seems to be a new player on the in-ear headphones market. Personally, I love in ear-headphones and I’ve been looking forward to something new and exciting for a while now. This market definitely has a lot of oldies…
The good old Shure has been with us since the beginning and offer us clarity and quality at all kinds of price levels. I myself am absolutely in love with my Shure E2C. Then we have Bose, where in my opinion you pay a lot for the design (which is nice) but you also get quite good sound from.
The ones I’m talking about now are Monster Turbine Pro – Designed By Audio Fanatics, For Audio Fanatics. We all know Monster as a company delivering high-end cables for most uses with absolutely unmatched performance. Now they’re releasing these fairly high-end headphones and I’m thrilled!
The details are on their web site but I can tell you that they retail at around $250, are nicely designed, available in two versions and have what they call a “rugged construction” that can withstand most uses. Monster wants to bring you to a higher level of music listening, something I’ve experienced with my Shures in the past but I know it can go even further.
The press statement says, and I quote “Turbine Pros were engineered to deliver bass so deep, it’s like a subwoofer in your ears, plus reproduce the clarity, detail and dynamic range of the finest studio monitors or audiophile reference loudspeakers.” This statement is a bit over-the-top perhaps but with Monster’s reputation regarding quality, I’m very tempted to trust them.
Conclusion, a new player on the market. Personally, I can’t wait to try these out so if someone from Monster is reading this, send me a review pair, please! For more information about them, go to the link below. Right now I’m just waiting to get some reviews of these babies because they sound interesting to say the last.
Go Monster!
