Review: Monster Jamz High Performance In-Ear Headphones

[jolegend13]

im trying to decide between monster jamz and bose mie2i any suggestions?

[shadowforce1804]

does this headphone come with smartphone playback controls

and also they're on sale for 40 dollars u think i should get them?

[TheOneAndOnIyBIG]

How long is the cord on the Monster Jamz without control talk

[Touch4GHelp]

would you recommend these?

[Mrglowingman]

had these for 3 months something in the cable for the left earbud broke now music only plays through the right one. at least i got them for free..

[Truton235]

should i get these or ibeats?

[tipoomaster]

The buds are hammer proof, but what about the cable?

[kakamedsaft]

Whats the point in having indestructable buds when the cable is not? =)

[TheSmlaxer]

Its alive....

[dementor338]

I bet my $15 earphones are hammer proof too! *breaks earphones* oops

[ZERO55FXGD]

I bought these about a week ago, tried them for two days with all the tips in the package and returned the Jamz the third day. Horrible in the ear, way to heavy (metal body) en very weak sound in all ranges. Bought myself the Shure SCL3 and damn those f@ckers are good in all ranges!

Monster as a cable company is good, but as a headphone company it's way to hyped out and for a bit extra money you can buy yourself sick audio!

[MrMarkf132]

megamactv, just wanted to let you know that theres a thread on head-fi.org making fun of this video

[Jackquelegs]

@MrMarkf132 Saying that the lack of strain relief ("rubber or some kind of plastic rubber silicone thingy" to quote) improves durability alone will provoke the wrath of headfi..or anyone with common sense

[jnbalmer448]

@MrMarkf132 haha send me a link

[MrMarkf132]

i would suggest you learn a little more about headphones, Considering you spent maybe 20 seconds talking about the actual sound quality this review isn't very useful. Next time spend some more time on the sound and try to describe it better, give genres/songs that sound good on them, things like that. Oh and practice what you're going to say beforehand, the stuttering was a bit distracting. Keep up the good work though

[GROMSF]

I lost 5:21 of my life. 

[Mrtechux]

Don`t hit the meta (HIT THE CABLE!)

[RctCalvin]

@Mrtechux meta(l) with an L

[LuvsGalaga]

LOL xD I hit them with a hammer and they're still alive, good video but i'm sure Lady Gaga didn't design/ create these headphones or else it's be on her site, right?

[shortii12341]

If you had to pick between Dr. Dre Tour and Monster's which ones would you pick?Im trying to find a very good pair of headphones.

[specialgreg95]

@wisconsinskater09 so do you think the jamz are better? or do you have any other suggestions?

[lepiesza]

which sound better, the tours or those?

[poopnugget341]

i saw on this website that they mead white beats tours by dr. dre are these real???

[poopnugget341]

i listen to is hiphop rap and r&b. like usher 3oh!3 Ke$ha, Katy Perry, and eminem. i was deciding between the diddybeats, jamz, turbines, and the beats tours all with controltalk. I like the cable and design of the diddys and tours but the jamz last long, but i heard the turbines have realy good sound. I want one with deep bass, clear vocals, clear highs, and i want to feel the beat thumping in my head. plz tell me what order you would recommend the in and why

[yoplasite]

I noticed that the bass on the left earbud was louder than on right one is it normal ?

[eminemineminem]

why didnt you hit the cables or the jack?

[MrRastafarianman]

trying to keep the headphones untangled fail lol but good review

[15millz]

Difference between Jamz & lil jamz?

[specialgreg95]

How Do these Earphones hold up in comparrison to the Klipsch Image S4i. I understand that this build far surpasses the Klipsch in durability but when it comes to sound quality which would be better? Was it easy to find a good seal with these headphones and how is the comfortability over extended periods of use? I'm finally upgrading from skullandy and want a durable but well sounding pair. Also, are the highs crisp as well as mids. Thank You for your time. Ill be sure to sub

[themegamactv]

@specialgreg95 Unfortunately I have never tested the S4i but I can tell you that the Turbines sound fantastic.

[specialgreg95]

@themegamactv The turbines? Do you mean the jamz? Is the treble crisp though? jw

[zavulon06]

@themegamactv Which pair would you say is better overall, Bose MEI2i or the Turbines? I am really curious because I have the Bose, but if the Turbines are overall better, I'll buy them and return the Bose

[TheFroggystudio]

@themegamactv are the wires in these durable because i've gone through like 5 pairs of skullcandys all because of the wire breaking

[wisconsinskater09]

@specialgreg95 S4i's suck, i had em for only a day and returned them.

[uonadtehrrocks]

@specialgreg95 I bought both from bestbuy and took the JAMZ back because I think the Klipsch's sounded better just a little, but better and the klipsches had more bass and better articulated bass. The jamz however are way better to the touch and to look at if you want to impress people.

[Lurven94]

why scould you hit them with a hammer anyways?

[themegamactv]

@Lurven94 Just to test durability. 

[Lurven94]

@themegamactv yea, but its not like anyones gonna hit it with a hammer when you are listening to music

[themegamactv]

@Lurven94 It's just a test.

[Lurven94]

@themegamactv but i dont understand why you scould hit it with a hammer, its a posibility it can be broken, u r crazy!

[grizzlisDB23]

@Lurven94 what if im listening to music and someone bashes my face with a hammer? atleast my headphones are safe

[G0000MBA]

@Lurven94 imagine this

your walking and you shake your homies hand

your hand swings down pretty fast ripping your headphones out from your ear,

ive done it, and it hits the ground pretty fucking hard.

dumbass, its obviously just showing how much they can take for people who sometimes drop their headphones.

[Lurven94]

@G0000MBA i stil dont undersatnd, hitting them, with a hammer aint the same as losing them on the ground, dude your stoned.

[G0000MBA]

@Lurven94 its just showin you how much damage they can take you stupid fuck stop arguing it god damn

[Lurven94]

@G0000MBA hmm, but a HAMMER is not the same as losing them on the GROUND, arent you smart enough to understand that?

[G0000MBA]

@Lurven94 well no shit

are you not smart enough to understand that using a fucking hammer just shows how much pressure can be put on the headphones?all he is doing is proving that not even a hammer can mess them up so nothing will.right?there is a point behind using the hammer which you obviously arent seeing.

[Lurven94]

@G0000MBA hmm, i guess that youre a little more clever than me, indeed.

[RollerBall21007]

@Lurven94 lol if they survive beeing hit by a hammer they would survive anything that u can do with them that includes losing them on the ground. arent u smart enough to understand that?

[zampakto93]

@Lurven94 y ask a stupid ass question fool

[Rkool1234568]

Would you say that these are better than the V-moda Vibe ii?

[ram8727]

This video just made my decision much harder! I'm on the fence between Diddybeats and now these Jamz!

[MeDunKnowU]

has the winner for the beats been revealed yet? did i miss it?

[themegamactv]

@MeDunKnowU winner was announced earlier this month on Twitter.

[Edub2012]

[Lukaz1989]

[Brennonicolini]

[rav07]

Dude! Your reviews are amazing! Very detailed, excellent shots and great video quality! Keep up the awesomeness work Henry ;-)

[calebiscool1]

finally monster made some strong headphones...you know the ones you helped euvin buy...a part fell off and he just glued it haha

[BrainSalad212]

isn't there something called Lil' Jamz

[TheDonLau]

if it was virtually indestructible, then why didn't you let me hit it? haha, give me the hammer next time

[themegamactv]

@TheDonLau Because I didn't have a hammer at school and I honestly didn't know if it would hold up until I hit it myself. It obviously does.... lol

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

Dude... a hammer? That's harsh. ;)

[skidgalning]

idiot?, why try to brake perfekt working headphoones?!

[themegamactv]

@skidgalning I test products....

[skidgalning]

@themegamactv okay, hehehe :P, do u live in france btw?

[themegamactv]

@skidgalning no Hong Kong. Was there over Easter for holiday. Wish I could do this for all my vidoes. Looks nice right?

[skidgalning]

@themegamactv Alrite, nice :), yeah! it looks really good and pro :D

[themegamactv]

@skidgalning thanks

[crazynorwegianviking]

great video henry! whats the price and where in hong kong could you get these headphones?

[themegamactv]

@crazynorwegianviking Jamz are currently not available yet in Hong Kong. They will be shortly. Currently, HMV Hong Kong sells a wide range of Monster headphones.

[castro5661]

See I liked the sound quality on these but despise the ball type tips they included. I get a good seal in my ears but feel like theres suction going on when I listen the music . Very uncomfortable. I think ima hit em with a hammer! lol

[themegamactv]

@castro5661 Haha have fun hitting it! Make sure you do it on something like a chopping board. I did it once on my video recording table and now theres a imprint of the earpiece on the table.... FAIL!

[movieluv94]

lol i like to squeez things to

4:42

running around u see an asian kid pointing lolllll where are u in hk for this part :0

great vid btw !!!!!!!!! =D

[themegamactv]

@movieluv94 Most of the outdoor shots were filmed in Paris. The little asian kid pointing is my brother :D

[movieluv94]

@themegamactv :o you went to paris? LOL ur bro has the same hair style as you, thats cool!

[PJxBuchwild]

If i bought them and they broke id kick someones ass

[wilsonchen1000]

cool

[MonsterCableProducts]

Thank you for sharing this review!

[themegamactv]

@MonsterCableProducts No prob. Loved the headphones!

[p8ntballer8491]

You really need to test out the durability of the wires, thats usually what breaks first.

[themegamactv]

@p8ntballer8491 Monster is a premium cable manufacturer and so far, their cables have been holding up very well for me.

[DudeFromUkraine]

Nice review man, very pro.
