Wow! I finally picked a pair of these up today and to say I was astounded at the sound coming from a set of earbuds is a serious understatement. I ran through several favorites, Aaron Copland, Enigma, Depeche Mode, various baroque pieces and was impressed with what I heard. Listening to Enigmas album LSD, I was surprised to actually hear additional sounds in the backgound that I was never aware were there. I tried several of the different size sleeves finally settling on the large, non-tree style. I'll save the trees for my Shure 115's that need new sleeves. Buy, try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Nice review... Have you tested out the Monster Turbine Pros? Supposed to be a big upgrade from the regular ones.

I've actually been doing a lot of research on the Tubine Pros myself, and I found this review on CNET: http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/monster-turbine-pro-in/4505-7877_7-33775385.html They really seem like a quality product.
