Monster Cable; Feel & Finish; Sound Quality; Nice Extras

Design Downfalls

These aren't your daddy's headphones, unless he's that cool dad with your favorite rock star, famous athlete or movie star on speed dial. Monster's Inspiration headphones offer a sleek design that's also customizable, making your typical Bose cans look dated.

Sturdy yet elegant design; Good active noise-canceling technology; Loud audio with clear; balanced mids; Can still play music after battery dies; Fun customization options

Aggressive bass can overwhelm tracks; Tight fit

As many of you already know, Monster had a partnership with Beats to manufacture Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, which now come in a variety of styles and sizes. Not too long ago the two companies severed ties, but that hasn't stopped Monster from making new headphones, and its Inspiration models...

The Monster Inspiration headphones are comfortable, have good build quality, and offer impressive, rich sound with good detail and punchy bass; They come with three detachable headphone cables, microphone options for iOS and Android mobile devices, and an extra headband cover you can swap in.

The Inspiration is a fairly bulky headphone set and pretty pricey; - and the extra headband covers are priced too high at $30

Strong bass response; Doesn't distort even at top volumes; Not only is the cable removable, but the headphones come with three cables total; Works with iPhones and most other mobile phones

Exaggerated highs and lows won't appeal to audiophiles seeking flat response; Removable headband and overall design is not for everyone

The Monster Inspiration is a recently released pair of headphones that promise great quality sound with noise cancellation and universal connectivity, all in a smooth looking package.

I was thinking about buying these cans when they were released, they sounded pretty good with my iPod, but i found the price too high, i thought i′ll wait. A few weeks ago i found a pair on eBay for 60$, brand new, i thought i risk it.

Fun sound, looks, lots of bass, comfort; no distortion

Bass heavy.; so it isn′t for everyone

I have the active noise cancelling version of these headphones .They retail for about 300 bucks. I think these are one of Monster more popular headphones and for a good reason but before I get into that, let's talk a bit about the case that they come with.

The Monster inspiration headphones are over ear headphones; they are noise isolating and feel great when you are wearing them for long periods of time. At first glance of these headphones I did not like them because I didn't think the design of them was very up to date.

After splitting ways with Beats by Dr Dre at the end of last year, Monster is now looking to compete head-on with its former audio partner for the wallets of road warriors, courtesy of its Inspiration headset.

Quality and sturdy build; comfortable over extended periods of use; excellent sound quality and volume levels; decent bass response; noise cancellation technology works well; headset still works even after batteries powering the noise cancellation feature runs flat; quality travel bag; and...

Pricey

This is my 4th pair and I would have to say I wouldn't use any other earbuds. Excellent quality and price was great. I would definitely buy another pair when the time comes for it.
