Great headphones for anyone who loves quality products
Very cool design and comfortable fit but the main reasons I bought these is the superb sound and ANC quality.
You get a great ri ch bass, smooth mid-range and crisp treble without ANC being active. With ANC turned on, the bass gets a boost while the mid range becomes richer and the Trembe sharper.
I compared these headphones with the similarly priced Beats Studio HPs and I found that the sound quality was about the same but overall I found these gave an more polished, 'smoother' audio experience.
The ANC is very cool and I found the effect very quiet compared to the Beats Studio. …- Written by Andrew D from Los angeles

Monster's Next Gen Sound!!!!!
The WOW factor is Phenomenal! I mean, I have never felt better about spending this much money on a pair of headphones! Build quali ty is great, at least these didn't feel cheap and plasticky like my Beats!
Now, for soudn quality, these are way more robust than my Bose or my Beats! Monster really got it right this time...
Included goodies: 3 Cables! Wow, now it covers my iPhone and my Blackberry! How cool is that?
All in all, the headphones are great, sexy, sleek, and I won't feel so embarassed wearing these at the airport than I would with my Beats and I have some style which was non existent with my Bose! Thanks Monster! …- Written by Chris W from Largo

Quiet Inspiration
Picked up my pair of the new Monster Inspiration headphones last week and they're totally awesome! Unlike my Bose, these work whe n the noise cancellation is off and with great bass, smooth mids and crisp highs. When I turn the noise cancellation on, the bass is boosted, the mids and highs are incredible and all in a wonderful silence. Comfort wise, these are a bit more snug fitting then some others I tried, but very comfortable to wear... …

Finally
I've been personally buying monster cable products for awhile. Theyre the only instrument cables i've been using. Afterbeing very disappointed with beats and yes I bought the solos and the studios which both broke on me I decided to stop buying Monster headphones. Then a sales rep from monster who I met one day let me try these on and I was blown away. Truly an audiophile product. They sound amazing definitely underrated. …

All around good sound
Theses Monster Inspirations are not the best, but for $299.99 they're probably some of the best you can get.
The bass is loud en ough that you will definitely hear it, but not overpowering. The mids and the highs are excellent. The only problem I have with it is the Noise Cancelling feature. There is a low hissing noise and it isn't the best that I've heard.
They are very comfortable, although your ears will get sweaty of you're in a hot environment.
Pros: Good sound (bass, lows, mids, highs), comfortable
Cons: noise cancellation could be better, ears will get sweaty
4/5 …- Written by Amaru A from Ottawa

Way better than expected!!!
I liked the look of Beats but the comfort wasn't there when wearing them. Loved the noise canceling of the Bose but the style and build quality felt cheap! Sound wasn't all that great for either one.
Monster nailed it! Great comfort, great sound, and good noise canceling. Style is good, with a modern simplistic look. A little heftier than some other brands but I think that helped secure the piece while wearing it. Maybe not, either way the headphone was very secure when wearing it.
Had my doubts about the square cans but at least for my ears they worked perfectly! …- Written by Gene F from Rancho Cordova

Best Answer
Compared to beats solo, studio, and pro's? These win. To Beats Mixrs and wireless, the mixrs are al most the same but the inspiration have a little more clearer tone and mixrs have more bass. The wireless are almost the same but the inspiration beat them just by a little. IMO the mixrs are the clearest beats, and the inspiration win, no doubt. …
