These newcomers provide the small, light profile of the UM-1s with the full bass response of the Ultimate Ear extended-bass model. Best I've heard yet for less than $150.

These earbuds are great. They have full rich melody and an accurate mix. BUT, I have one issue. These earbuds were advertised for the bass, which I find lacking. Oh its there all right, you can hear it, but it needs to be turned up louder in the mix. And yes, i have a complete seal, almost better isolation than my noise-cancelling Sonies. I used these earbuds to listen to Lil Wayne's A Milli, to test the bass. Normally, the bass would be loud and vibrate your headphones almost out of your ears. This didnt happen. The bass has a good full sound, but it's so quiet! a simple solution would be to turn up the volume, but then the listener is subjected to other noises just as loud as the first time, but the bass is still more noticeable. if they had put a little more emphasis on the bass in the earphones, they would be perfect. All in all, not a bad purchase. The highs are absolutely stunning and the mids are rich and warm. Overall, a good product.
If anyone knows something i dont about getting the bass to be louder, please let me know.

Just got my new set of Monster Turbines and I must say these are some sweet earbuds.
The fit is great, very comfortable more than my EB5's. The sound is better in the high and middle range.
But not as deep and strong in the bass range as the EB5's, sorry Monster. I like your products and I own a lot of them.
And these are some great buds if you are moving up from cheap junk buds. I'm not out to mislead or fall into
hyping a product up that doesn't make the cut. But for the money and since Ultimate Ears was bought out and the price went
up you can't go wrong here. I'm still happy with mine and look forward to new and improved models.

I recently broke my headphones and decided to buy these based on reviews on this site. While waiting for these to arrive, I bought a "cheaper" pair of earphones to use (Creative Aurvana). Naturally, when the Monster arrived, I couldn't wait to put them on. WOW. very crisp and sharp highs. Disappointing mid range and bass. The highs are the only difference between these and a cheap headphones.

If you want warm sound with decent bass, try the Creative Aurvana. I would say that the Creative doesn't have clear highs so if you listen to alot of jazz or vocals, skip them. On the other hand, if you like jazz or vocals, buy the Monster Turbine.

These have some of the best Lows available on a pair of Earphones along with the Sennheiser IE8, and the Futuresonics Atrio.

They have a very powerful, quick, and deep low response, with a decent presentation of the high and mid Frequencies. This is then all wrapped up in a warm signature, with a above average soundstage.

Comfort is very good with the excellently designed silicone sleeves that i had no problems getting a seal with.

However, if you are someone that likes a mid forward presentation, you may want to go with something from Shure, Westone, or the Phiaton PS200. If you're a high person that's looking for something competitively priced, look at the Phonak Audeo PFE.

Very good, like them!
