	Miles Davis Tribute- The Ultimate Jazz Experience How do you pay tribute to a legend? When that legend is jazz innovator and musical explorer Miles Davis, you do it the same way he did – with passion, energy and a commitment to excellence. Most importantly, it's about commitment to the music. The “Man With The Horn” accepted no compromises, nor should you when listening to music. Cool jazz is great, but too “cool” does not make for pleasant listening. So Monster did what Miles did throughout his own career, ignoring the conventional norms to create an in-ear headphone that crackles with energy and detail yet remains easy to listen to for hour after hour. Using an advanced driver, a uniquely shaped acoustic housing, and of course, Monster's world-class cable technology, we've created a very special – and limited – edition headphone that stands apart from the pack. But outer beauty is nothing without inner soul, and that's where the Tributes really shine. You'll hear the clean articulation of instruments, the elegance of expression, the sumptuous tones and passages bursting with energy. Lightning quick and powerful, fiery and lyrical – all the moods of and emotions of the music come through with the Tributes. From the complex and rich textures of the Gil Evans orchestra on Sketches of Spain, to one of jazz's most magical moments, Kind of Blue-you've never heard your favorites like you will with Miles Davis Tribute Jazz Headphones. Hearing the smooth tones of Paul Chambers to the innovative playing of Ron Carter, bass never sounded so real. While experiencing the explosive sounds of Tony Williams or the cool precision of Jimmy Cobb, drums will feel more present and powerful than ever. The piano stylings of Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly and Herbie Hancock will seem to float with the immediacy of being there. And of course, the amazing sax men, from John Coltrane to Wayne Shorter, it's like you're right there, front and center. The sense of occasion, the clarity of tone, the depth of the soundstage are remarkably vivid and create a listening experience you won't soon forget. Not just for jazz, these deluxe headphones offer an amazing combination of power, precision and accuracy, yet they are remarkably smooth. To listen once is to believe. All this in a limited edition headphone and a package that you'll be proud to call your own. Product Features Audiophile-level components and performance in a lightweight, portable package Superior full-range response with smooth, detailed midrange Advanced driver and acoustic housings reproduce the “live experience” SuperTip eartips for unprecedented performance and noise isolation Each Tribute is a limited, numbered edition Three luxurious and stylish cases to protect your investment Includes special 2-CD Legacy Edition of Miles Davis' classic 1959 recording, Kind Of Blue Compatible with all portable media players Industry leading Lifetime Warranty includes full one-time replacement
A headphone as revolutionary as Miles himself Miles Davis is one of the most important figures in the history of jazz and music proper. It's impossible to imagine the world of jazz without Davis and the gorgeous, silver sound of his trumpet playing. Davis' recordings not only defined popular jazz of the second half of the 20th century, he also redefined the genre with far-reaching fusion experiments. But Davis' thirst for music and adventure didn't stop there, as he journeyed ever onward into the gritty world of urban funk and even commercial pop before he was through. In Davis' mind, there were only two types of music: good and bad. It's a difficult task to capture that idea in a headphone, but that's what the Miles Davis Tribute Headphones do. Although the Miles Davis Tributes are designed with Miles and to present the tones and tunes of jazz music with faithful fidelity, they also excel with all types of music – and there's a lot of good music to be heard! A sound as pure, emotional and revolutionary as the man himself, the Miles Davis Tribute Headphones offer not only the ultimate jazz experience but one across all musics. We trust Miles would approve. Built to last a lifetime Miles Davis Tributes not only sound great, they feature ultra-durable and reliable components to ensure a lifetime of performance. Monster uses only the very best parts including all-metal headphone housing and advanced cable technologies for the purest sound and performance possible. We know audiophiles and music lovers can be rough on equipment, so the Tributes are backed by a no-strings Lifetime Warranty that includes full replacement of your headphones even if you break them! They truly are built to last a lifetime.
	Individual Fit for Perfect Comfort and Noise Isolation  If you think in-ear headphones are uncomfortable or can't deliver high-performance sound, prepare to to be amazed by Turbine Pros. Unlike most other “earbuds,” with their “one-size-fits-most” approach, your Turbine Pro Coppers include a full set of four different sound-isolating performance eartips in numerous shapes and sizes to accommodate any ear. The result? A perfect fit and a perfect seal. Listen to your music-not outside noise-with the most comfortable in-ear headphone on the market.
Product Highlights In-ear design makes it easy to travel with your music and headphones without sacrificing dynamics or fidelity for convenience. A full range of sound-isolating high-performance EarTips ensure a perfect fit and seal for your ears You hear more music and less external noise You get more than just great sound, you get professional-grade parts and travel cases as stylish as the earphones themselves Highly efficient drivers deliver a dynamic and involving musical picture, even at low volume levels, making them easy to listen to for hours  Even compressed audio, such as MP3s, will sound much better Each comes with an unprecedented one-time replacement, even if YOU break them! Who are they for? Audiophiles who demand the most from their equipment and music collections Audiophiles seeking a better listening experience Audiophiles on the go Your discriminating ears – You've listened to enough music to recognize subtle and not-so-subtle differences Music lovers who count music as an important part of life – art that truly enhances your quality of life

Ok so I thought it was important to provide a review of my own for these headphones because a. there are very few other reviews online for the Miles Davis Monster Turbines and b. the product really does deserve a typed out review.
First let me say that for a long time (like many others) I searched for the best pair of headphones money could buy, and these were the ones I ended up selecting. I began my search for new headphones (preferably ones that were in-ear) that provided excellent base response and to put it bluntly, sounded good. After gathering information and sampling the Beats by Dre (out and in-ear), Sony Bass Boost in-ear Headphones and the Etymotic ER6i Isolators, I was still not fully content. Eventually I arrived at the Monster Turbine Pros, and because I attempted to buy the best of the best, I leaned towards these babys. In all honesty, although I could not sample the Miles Davis Monster Turbines (pretty sure its impossible to unless a friend of yours owns them), I was too curious to let the chance of not hearing them slip by. So here's what I feel are the pros and cons for these headphones:

Pros:
- Sound quality is amazing. Ive noticed pianos and guitars especially sound extremely clear (almost like someone is playing right next to you).
- Built with a lot of sense. These headphones are not only sleek looking (gold-plated), but very durable. The cord functions to de-tangle on its own, and after about a month of using it, I cannot see any weak spots along the cord that are liable to break, tear or rip in the future.
- Ear tips are built for comfort. The rubber is "insulated" with some type of gel which conforms to the shape of the inside of your ear.
- Clarity of Bass Response. It is refreshing to hear the bass in songs actually surface correctly outside the studio with these headphones.
- The entire package that comes along with these headphones is ridiculous. Miles Davis CD's, some 20 different types of earphone tips, earphone tip spin wheel, 3 different carrying cases, etc.
- Lifetime Warranty. Pretty sure that says it all.

Cons:
- Obviously the cost. Most people are outraged at a price tag of $400 for a pair of headphones. For most of us, that's more than we paid for our i-pod or maybe even computer.
- Amount of Bass Response. Now this may prove to be very different for most of you out there, but I listen to music which calls for heavy bass (hardcore music if you must know). Still I would not say I was disappointed with the amount of bass output, but it just would have been the ultimate package if the bass was boosted a little.

So that's my review guys. I hope it was helpful in some way. I really think these headphones deserve all of the hype they get. They are pretty much everything I have ever wanted in a pair of headphones (minus my one little con of a heavier bass response). And let me just say, if you are hesitant simply because of the price tag then remember "Life is too short to listen to bad headphones", it truly does make a difference in the listening experience.

P.S. I gave it 5 stars because I dont think you can find anything better out there on the headphones market.

I have earphones and ear-buds from BOSE, SENNHEISER, ETYMOTIC, SHURE, and these MILES DAVIS TRIBUTES. Each of these has good qualities and are certainly worthy for your consideration - so much of listening pleasure is a subjective matter. For me, the MILES DAVIS TRIBUTES are above and beyond the others for the simple reason that I can listen at a relatively soft level and still hear all the nuances in the music. They come with a large selection of earpieces to custom fit them to your ear so that you get both sound isolation and comfort. I feel that there is something of a "burn-in" time for them to settle in to their full richness, but they are spectacular right out of the box. Close your eyes and you are there in the studio or on the stage with the musicians. The soundstage is stunningly accurate and ALL of the music is there to hear. I am hearing things in music I have listened to for years that I had not heard before. For reference purposes, when I am listening on speakers it is with BELLES electronics and MAGNAPLANER speakers. The MILES DAVIS TRIBUTES are simply wonderful. A bit pricey, but how many times have you paid less and not been satisfied after a short time listening. These are the opposite - they just keep getting richer!
