Introduction
The Monster Turbine Pearls are a set of in-ears that emphasize design. These are definitely some of the more stylish in-ears we’ve had in for review. Unlike other high-design headphones we’ve reviewed, however, the Turbine Pearls don’t charge a crazy fee for their aesthetics. At $170 the Pearls find themselves solidly in mid-range headphone territory—and they actually have audio quality that’s good enough to compete at their price point.

Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
