ConclusionValue & Comparisons
Value (4.50)
Monster has a reputation for slinging overly expensive products. The Turbines serve to single-handedly shatter this popular belief, because they cost only slightly more than they should. If you’re looking for a set of in-ears in this price range, there are slightly better headphones out there, like the Etymotic 6isolators or Sennheiser CX 95s, but the Turbines have most of them beat in terms of style.

The CX 95s are better headphones in just about every regard, including price, but are aesthetically plain. Check them both out and listen to how each sound. Unless the Turbines really strike you as amazing, get the CX 95s, because they’re a better deal with better sound quality. |

The SE420s are also better headphones, but unlike the above comparison, the Turbines have them beat on price. That’s likely the factor that this match-up will come down to, although the Turbines are also a bit more attractive than the SE420s. |

Roles have been reversed, and this time the Turbines are the bigger, better, more expensive version. In this case, however, the Vibe Duos really aren’t significantly worse – at least enough to justify the extra $50 you’d shell out for the Turbines. Again, unless you hate the Vibe Duo’s design, we’d recommend them over the Turbines. |

This match-up is really more about budget than anything else. At $50, the AH-C351s are very inexpensive and offer great audio quality for their price. The Turbines cost $150, look a lot better, and have better audio quality. There’s no question that the AH-C351s are a better value, but if you’re looking for a higher-end model, the Turbines are the better pick. |

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
