Monster Miles Davis Tribute Earphones

[jmmccann]

Just curious. Please no flaming...I'm new.

I was wondering if anyone had seen or heard of fake/knockoff Monster Miles Davis Tribute earphones. I did a search and there doesn't appear to be a lot of talk or forum posts about it.

Anyone else know?

Thanks,

J.

Here's a hint, if you have to start a post this way you probably already know that you're in trouble.

Serious question - why would you care? You're asking about fake headphones, are you shitting me?

[jmmccann]

It's pretty simple actually. I'm interested in buying a pair, don't want to cough up the retail price for a new pair, and found someone online selling them, and just wondered if this was a product that gets knocked off a lot. Don't let it ruin your night!

try asking on head-fi

[Sherwood]

I think you don't want to cough up retail price because, in your heart of hearts, you know they're a bad deal. Perhaps you'd prefer to buy decent headphones instead?

[jmmccann]

I own a pair of decent headphones actually. I have a pair of Electro-Static Audio Technica ATH-70's. Love them. Just want something portable that is decent. Geez, Are these forums good for anything? Can anyone just give me a straight answer?

[postjack]

well if it's a tribute to miles davis it's safe to say it'll sound good with jazz.

They're good for sending you a welcome PM you clearly didn't spend the time to read. How about this, you invest no time in this site, and we invest nothing back in you. Sound good?

[jmmccann]

Sorry, You're absolutely right. I didn't get to read the welcome PM before posting...I'm not accustomed to sites having a mandate to be obnoxious. But now that I know it's expected, I will press on. So. As I said before, I'm looking for a pair of in-ears that I can wear when I'm not at home. Since I don't enjoy bringing my ATH-70's with the brick sized transformer to starbucks to sit down and read for a bit. That reminds me, I'm also looking for a new transformer for the ATH-70's. If anyone knows where I can get one, that'd be amazing...But that's for another post. I've settled on the Monster Miles Davis earphones, heard great things about them, despite how I feel about Monster Cable...etc. I think they may have a good product here. I just want to make sure before purchasing them used, that they are legit.

Thanks in advance,

J.

Haven't heard any of these, but would think the Miles might be nicely paired with Coltrane, or even some avant-garde fusion, the Q really sweet with Michael Jackson or some of the 80's R+B, maybe just a bit of jazz, and the Dre Beats best with Snoop Dogg.

Although again, never really heard them.

Don't buy anything from overly-litiginous Monster. Boycott Monster.

Get Sennheiser PX100's instead. Or one of these.

[jmmccann]

Thanks jvlgato. Sorry, to be clear, I don't WANT a pair of cheap knockoffs. I merely want to avoid purchasing them. In response to your post jvlgato, they are highly regarded (as far as in-ears go) for Jazz. I've read a few posts that suggest they are better sounding than the Bose e530's. But I have no basis for evidence....just a few people talking.

[jp11801]

any headphone that is touted for a particular type of music IMHO is shit, Bose e530s ???????????????????

Where is Reks with the shovel when you need him, I got 3 more posts in the shovel pool

[jmmccann]

Sorry, My bad....I was referring to Shure E530's. jp11801, You should have caught that.

Look at the big brain on Brad, down to 2 posts for my bet to pay off. Not my job to pander to the obtuse. You may want to wander back to HF, seriously.

[jmmccann]

Not sure who Brad is, but whatever makes you happy dude.

[GPH]

I suggest reading at a place that doesn't charge 5$ for an espresso, with the spare cash you'll be able to invest in a pair of JH13. Problem solved.

[Mister X]

Not sure who Brad is

Maybe a reference to a line from Pulp Fiction?

"check out the big brain on Brett"

Aww JP you were one post short of winning the pool

[jvlgato]

Ok, here's a straight post.

This is just not the type of question people here are interested in discussing. That is why you're getting what appears to be obtuse and sarcastic answers. As a newb, you are much better off lurking for a while and absorbing information to get a feel for things.

Head Fi is much friendlier to this type of question and to newbs in general.

Please take a minute to read the Welcome PM. Good luck with your purchase!

Jvlgato, you are just too damn nice.

I would've suggested permaban as soon as he badmouthed the forum. Whiny fucking bitch.

I'm still new at this. Not sure I quite know how to grip the shovel yet!

[Dusty Chalk]

In hindsight, obviously a troll.
