They are refurbished but they look brand new (minus box and cleaning cloth) and have a 30 day warranty. Looks like the price just jumped to $199 today.:(

My 50 year old mother said she wants a pair for christmas to match her iPhone :p

Im interested in those refurbished in ears.. but I wonder if they are clean or.. I mean it comes from Monster directly so I guess they cleaned it..

I have lots of headphones, mostly some SkullCandy and Sony but the Monster Turbines are the best ones I have at the moment.

I was watching this exact site and missed out as well. Hopefully we see some different models or lower prices added again soon!

You are saying nothing is cosmetically or functionally wrong at all with the refurb?

Not a mark on them. Even had the clear sticker to show how to insert the batteries. Both cords also looked to be brand new as well. I am in no way an audiofile so to my untrained ears they sound really nice. You also have 30 days to return for a full refund if you end up not liking them or something is wrong.

Edit: They did not come with the box, cleaning cloth or instructions.

Can anyone recommend any indestructible and affordable in ears? (I'M DESPERATE!)

Try the Creative EP-630. They sound awesome for the price, picked some up for about £7. They're not of the highest build quality but easily replaceable at that price I guess.


I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD280s. Very nice, accurate sound reproduction and noise cancellation - but I probably could have got something of similar quality for cheaper. Also have a pair of HD201s that are fantastic for the price.

I'm with JG271 ^^ the EP-630s rock for the little they cost.

Currently breaking in a pair of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10s that I got for a bargaintastic £99.

Not the most comfortable I have ever had and clearly not for sports as they have a tendency to drop out of your ears being so large.

have you tried the UE superfi5's, if so any comparisons? I have these headphones currently but they leave me wanting more it seems...

Yes I have briefly tried a friends set of UE superfi5's, found them more comparable to my old SE115's when it came to sound quality, the fit and sound isolation where not as good in comparison (but I guess it depends on the users earshape etc) I would consider the SE215's a decent step up if you can find them at a good price :)

Picked these (iFrogz Ear Pollution Plugz) up today for $15 at Walmart. Pretty good sound, but disappointed in the bass. Sound Quality is comparable to my $50 Skullcandy "Hesh." Great for what I listen to, ska and reggae. The mic works great and I love the biohazard symbols. Overall great buds!

UE 18 Pros :) My ears are spoiled.

Sooooo jealous. Nicely done sir!

I just got these last month. Love them so far.

Really?! I gave them a quick listen at the Apple Store the other day and found them to be far too bright for me. Maybe I should give them another try. I certainly like the look of them and the build quality felt great. I guess another trip the the Apple Store is in order...:rolleyes:

And here are mine... Etymotic HF3's with custom ear molds from my wife for Christmas. I'm very happy with them so far. I'm mulling over grabbing a Fiio E7/E9 combo and I think that will eventually precipitate the purchase of some higher end IEM's or cans, not sure which yet.

It all depends on the kind of sound you like. you can give them another try but it looks like you prefer a different sort of sound and that is fine, when it coems down to it, if you don't like the sound, then it's a waste.:)
