Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers note that the Monoprice headphones provide impressive bass impact and comfort for the price, with a solid aluminum‑and‑plastic build. However, they criticize the fixed cable, V‑shaped tuning, and limited clarity compared to higher‑end models like the Beyerdynamic DT‑770, and they describe the soundstage as thin.
What Users Say
Everyday users consistently praise the headphones for their comfort, deep bass, and overall value, especially highlighting the lack of clamping pressure and the included travel bag. Recurring complaints focus on the non‑detachable cable, boomy bass, metallic treble, and the fact that they are not suited for critical listening or active use.
Common Complaints
Fixed non‑detachable cable, boomy bass with a metallic treble, thin or “cuppy” soundstage, lack of clarity compared to premium headphones, and absence of microphone or wireless features.
What People Are Saying
“super comfortable”
“next to no clamping pressure after a minute”
