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

These look good and will last a while, but they don't excel in sound or noise-cancellation The Monster Inspiration noise-cancelling headphones are a mixed bag. They're good-looking and comfortable, and we like the extended battery life. The sound and the noise-cancelling are decent too.

Good looks; Build quality; Long battery life

Sound is short on clarity; Noise-cancellation could be better

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

Bought one for myself and one for my wife as we travel frequently. Comfortable product with great versatility. Would prefer a less bulky option, but it's a great alternative to the flashier Beats headsets. We value sound quality and thought this was a great blend of both for a very affordable price.

Comfortable; Easy To Use; Great Sound Quality; Quality Microphone

Bulky Design

Good Bass

The highs are artificially boosted...

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 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.

There's no getting around the fact that the Inspiration are pricey. At $300, they face some stiff competition from the likes of Sennheiser, Audio Technica and Denon. But, from an audio performance standpoint, the Inspiration are absolutely on par with – and in some ways, better – similarly priced...

Balanced; engaging sound; Excellent tonality; Soft; luxurious feel; Solid build quality; Considerate stock of accessories included

Noise canceling not as strong as competition; No ¼-inch (TRS) adapter included; Some may feel clamping force is excessive; Slightly heavy

I have had the Bose noise canceling headphones in the past and I have to say these do the job nicely and have a clean rich sounds. There are pluses and minuses to compared to the Bose but overall these headphones on sales are a great value.
