No cherry-picked units sent by brands
they are a little too cumbersome for strenuous exercise
Monster Inspiration are mediocre everyday headphones
they feel too bulky and heavy for gym use
Monster s headphones have tended to be very bass-heavy
poor noise isolation and below average audio reproduction leaves much to
Monster includes a third cord that has no inline remote
headphones suffer from an inflated price tag
Noise leakage is minimal
bass would be heavy
and at times distorted
heavy and snug
a bit too snug
square ear cups threw me off a little at first
was only 90 percent cooked and not a final product
snug in a terrible way
headphones are no longer just audio accessories
noise of engines idling at traffic lights
missed the live chat Monday night
heavy
idle hum and occasional clatter of our printer
cuts the bass level slightly at the expense of the rest of the track
passive noise-isolation version
nearly psychedelic approach to guitar was mesmerizing
no getting around the fact that the Inspiration are pricey
nothing less for better or for worse
bass-heavy sound

These look good and will last a while, but they don’t excel in sound or noise-cancellation

Monster's Inspiration headphones offer a chic, customizable design with effective noise-cancelling and loud audio, but the bass can be overwhelming.
