is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

The problem, as you can see from some of the other responses, is that you can't really compare these two headphones. They were designed for different purposes. The A-T headphones were designed to deliver a flat response without accentuating any area of the tonal spectrum. This is so, though who need to, can hear the most accurate representation of the source audio. The Monster headphones were created to accentuate the low and high ends of the tonal spectrum while providing a scooped midrange. This design is pleasing to most audio consumers. So, the A-T's seek to benefit audio creators while the Monsters seek to benefit audio consumers. Both do their respective purposes justice.

These are all-rounded headphones with a good balance in everything. I don't think Audio Technica can be compared to Monster since the latter focuses on only the poundy bass and aesthetics while the former pursues better sound quality and ergonomics. ATH m50x in my opinion, would be better than the Monster.

They don't sound as good to me. I haven't heard Beats, but I've heard many. I don't think Beats is advertised as noise-canceling. Bose Quietcomfort 15 are the best noise-canceling phones I've owned. Do not buy used old models. After many years, the ear cushions on my Bose phones were wearing out. I called them and they offered me the new model for $100 and said it was much improved. They were right. The new model sounds much better than the one I had.

They do not have active noise-canceling technology, but the ear cups provide noise isolation, as they block about 80% of sound. Note: I decided not to get headphones with active noise-canceling technology because I heard it uses a lot more battery life of the device to which you are listening, e.g., laptop, iPod, phone. Plus, I learned that noise-canceling technology works best on steady noise (like the noise of air conditioning) but not so well on sudden, erratic noises like talking. Good luck!

Hi Joe, In terms of sound quality there are pretty much the same. If you using the Etymotic in plane/train or outdoors then the quality suffers alittle. These are not noise canceling or noise softening. But as far as comfort. I prefer the Etymotic.

These are better for Android - pretty much the same kit wit different buttons. Monster iSport Strive In-Ear Headphones with Control Talk (Blue)

I cannot answer this specific question but will tell my opinion. Z2 has very good sound quality that can be achieved with really advanced headsets what is typically available from the professional line. In particular I tried Z2 with few noise cancelling headsets in wire mode and noticed noticeable quality degradation. So, I rejected all all Bose (except reasonable quality of professional model), the same with Dr Dre' Beats line

I'm an audio junkie and own both the turbines and the monster dr. dre tour beats..not even close..if you like bass go with the tour beats....turbines 5 out of 10 for bass..tour beats 7.5 out of 10 for bass.. hope this helps..if you like teriffic sound with great bass, try the koss porta pros for $30..a very small over ear set that sounds amazing!! Absolutely blows away the turbines and tour beats...

I currently use these headphones and have tried some of my friends "fancy" ones. And i have never heard a difference.

They are the exact same and they you get a pack of different headbands. Performance wise these headphones are the real deal and the noise canceling is awesome. The downside for me was the weight of them after wearing a long time my neck got sore.

I'm in the same boat. I'm reviewing headphone sets primarily based on their noise cancellation abilities -- I don't even need audio. Recommendations would be welcome.

The Bose head phones are for people with discerning tastes in music who don't want to blow their heads off with sound. The sound imaging is superb. Way better than Sennheiser. The Beats are for people like me who want to blow their heads off. They still have excellent sound clarity. Between the two it's like a bottle of fine wine compared to 4 bottles of Boone's Farm. The Bose have noise cancelling that will mask a locomotive. I know thru experience. The noise cancelling on beats is marginal but with the music that loud, does it matter?

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

Noise canceling isn't great. Bose qc15 have excellent noise canceling however the sound quality is better on the ue6000. I love my Logitech headphones!

The ones I have are in my opinion not noise-cancelling. They are just simple high quality headphones.

They're great at noise reduction, but I only have other in ear headphones as a point of reference, so I don't know they compare to something like bose.

They're way better than the Skull Candy ones, and I'd say they're about the same as the Sonys, but the sound is a little clearer on the basses. The Sennheisers are also more comfortable than both by a good long way. They're not "isolation" headphones, so you'll hear outside noises, but they're great for swearing for hours at a time. I've had them for 2 years now, and I can't highly reccomned them highly enough.

Hey bro sorry for the super late reply,yes these are the ones with the active "switch" cancel feature. But to be honest with you I would go with V-moda's headphones based on comfort. They sound identical and all, these headphones have better noise canceling but they are a bit heavy due to the titanium build. Also if you are an athlete or have an active life style, they will stay on, they will cancel out the noise but you will have to be above 75% volume. Also very uncomfortable to sleep in tbh. I'm a Bboy, and its nice to have due to the noise cancel and the instrumentals are very balanced. So if you're looking for heavy base not the headphones you should be getting.
