Review on Monster NCredible NErgy In-Ear Headphones Headphones by Nicole Rogers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sounds great but love takes a little extra effort

I couldn't find them at first. They don't make ergonomic sense, unlike Panasonic's best-selling pair (also on Revain, also great at $7) which offer oval drivers. Do you get it, monsters? OVAL. DRIVER. Human ear canals are not perfectly round. Stop making round drivers with round tips. I was willing to work on them a bit though because unlike many audio snobs I'm actually a fan of the non-beats monster sound signature, which glistens with very punchy bass and attacks across the spectrum. I ended up buying a set of Shack's Comply S-200 foam pads, which greatly improve comfort and sound isolation. Now they have tight bass! Monster Ncredible Ntunes which I also own and love and they have it in abundance. Just be prepared to spend a little more money and energy on better foam tips for a comfortable fit and seal. Now I would give them 4-4.5 stars, but I deduct one star for the extra effort. They weren't straight out of the box for me. PS: The cable is flat and doesn't tangle, but the Y-connection is reinforced with a garish, shiny emblem that I hate.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
