Review on 🎧 Monster Inspiration 700 ANC Wireless Earbuds: Hi-Fi Audio, Noise Cancelling, 28Hr Battery, Type-C Charging (Black) by David Herman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The monster finally made it.

I used to have Monsters Airlinks headphones and they were okay but not great in terms of sound or battery life. In general everything is fine. They REALLY upped their game with them. I'm not an audiophile but a bit of a real junkie. I have AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM3, Soundcore Liberty 2, Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus and Klipsch T5 II and these monsters sound better than everyone else. Superb clarity with rich bass that's not overly accented or muddy. I hear instruments with them, not with others. Everything sounds surprisingly full, punchy and clean. Noise cancellation is good. still not as good as Apple (which still leads the category) but at around 50-60% volume it blocks more than the Sony WF-1000XM3. The design is chic. They have a mirror finish on the outside. They are large and protrude from the ear, but the outer shell is flat and the inner portion is contoured to fit snugly in the ear canal, at least for me with medium-sized ears. They also have smart detection that stops noise when it's removed from the ear. Connecting was quick and easy. As soon as I took them out of the case, my iPhone recognized and synced them with no problems. However, it does not support Bluetooth multipoint. The battery life is an impressive 10 hours. Not sure if it's with active ANC but I've been using them for about 8 hours at around 70% volume and they still work. If noise-cancelling is most important, get the AirPods Pro, but if battery life and sound quality are most important, get them through Sony. Monster has finally joined the elite true wireless club.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • unreliable
