Incredible!,
I very rarely take the time to review stuff but these headphones are amazing! After you get the fit right they deliver the most amazing bass and. Music clarity I have ever heard in headphones. I must admit that my girlfriend doesn’t like them as she can’t get the fit right but I love them and recommend them to everyone after a quality set of headphones.

Best sports headphones I own.,
I already owned a pair of ibeats before I bought these, I still own the ibeats, they have great sound but they are useless for running or any kind of dynamic movement as they kept falling out.
When I got these I plugged them in my ears straight away, the earpiece design is a bit weird and I was a bit dubious as to how they were going to stay in my ears. I had a little test, let my ipod hang from my ears, jumped up and down a few times… the headphones stayed in so I was pretty confident that they were going to stay on my ears for a 5-7mile run and they do.
You get 3 different size ear (umm, should I call them clips?), to suit your ears, I understand that they might not fit everybody as not everyone’s ears are shaped the same. So for some people buying a pair of these is probably going to be a bit of a gamble.
The sound quality is brilliant! Bass is pounding, I would say they are a bit more bass heavy than the ibeats. If you like listening to angry psych up music during your workouts you won’t be disappointed with these.
I am yet to try out how waterproof these things are as I’m a bit worried that as soon as I jump into the pool with them they will stop working and I will have to shell out another 95pounds to replace them had they been a bit cheaper I might have taken that risk. The only reason I am not giving these headphones 5 stars is because there is no indication as to how waterproof these things are. Other than that they are excellent headphones.
NB – The monster cable website has a list of devices that the control talk feature is compatible with, I have an Ipod Touch 2nd gen which it does not work with, I am not bothered by this but I know some people like being able to skip tracks or control the volume on the run. Hope this helps.

Feedback on sweatproof and sound quality,
I have purchased many what I thought were sweatproof sport performance headphones which incl /Sennheiser-680. However after just 2 weeks of running they started to block out in each ear. I do sweat a lot and so was really annoyed when this happened, ESP as love listening to music when running. So when I started to read the feedback on the US site it was very positive as there were no UK write ups. So made the purchase back in Jan 2012 for £130. Money was not an issue as had been disappointed in past purchases of sport phones who claim to be sweat proof but proved not to be the case. So when the phones came was a little nervous as these had been the most expensive phones I had bought for running and worried they might let me down like previous ones. It was because the feedback was so good that I decided to go for them.
For the 1st month I found the clip ins a little tricky to find the right size. But finally found the right ones, as you are faced with at least 6 sizes. But when you get the right ones they do stay in. This being important as I tend to wipe my sweat around my head with a towel after just 10 min of running. For what ever reason they did block in one ear twice on different occassions in the first month. But since that have used them for 3 months and they have not failed once. This is great ESP as I sweat a lot on the running machine and run 4 to 5 times a week for 45 min.
Also the sound is great, crisp and clear and bass and DO NOT lose any noise quality despite sweat creeping in my ears. Also the cable is great as they do not tangle into a knot which is another thing I found annoying to unwind with previous phones. Also the lead is long that it allows my mp3 player to be in my shorts pocket and not a short lead or a lead which has an extension.
I would absolutely recommend them to any one disappointed by sport sweat in ear phones to claim sound quality does not suffer and sweat proof only to find after weeks they fail. I was sceptical, annoyed and disappointed that I would not find a pair that would work until now. These headphones I would highly recommend to anyone and will now not buy any other brand except for these. Thanks to monster for putting my faith back into a brand that satisfies all my requirements.
