Although these have been hovering in the $25 range for a while, they haven't been posted on SD since they were $48. For the specs, these are excellent headphones and the reviews from people who bought them for around this price indicate as much.

Originally sold around $70-80, then trickled down. Near the all-time lows still:

Also, there's speculation that Mono reengineered the Brainwavz HM5 ($100) whose specs can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-...B006MA9XXM

They're also the same as the OEM Yoga CD-880 if you want to look up more detailed specs.

Save your money. If these take a tumble off a desk the plastic breaks like a frag grenade at the joints.
Dang bro didn't have to put it that way.

I think that's the case for most head phones. Moral of the story. Be careful with everything.

Does anyone know if there's a Bluetooth receiver that has dual channel output that would work with these?

Try Qudelix 5k or BTR5

For the headphone experts, how does this compare to AT M50x or Sony MDR 7506

Nah I posted this at 10:45am ET. It's been up for a while and took time to get traction. It's a good deal for sure, not sure about FP but whatever. Slow deal day maybe.

Having owned all three, I can say that while these aren't going to compare to either the 50s or the MDRs, but they are $25. They are decent for $25. They aren't overly EQ'd like something like Beats are, and have a more neutral sound. Build quality is good for the price, but not on the level of those other headphones. The one thing I don't like about these is the cord to each ear, instead of just one single cord. The 50s and MDRs are easier on and taking off than these are if you do that often.

I'm returning some cheap Berebes brand headphones from Amazon that were 20$. I can't imagine these being as bad as those. I'll take a chance. I just need something at the very least on par with the old iPhone plug in head phones

I agree with taking care of your possessions, which is why i suggest not getting these. A simple fall from getting brushed off a desk by you or a pet will result in broken hinges or headband. By all means if you would like to feed the black hole of cheap chinese electronics made by children and slaves, be my guest.

Monoprice has always shipped great products for the price ime, I'll give these a spin at this price, and better yet, if they aren't good, Bezos pays for the return!

Typing on a monoprice mechanical keyboard right now, also using a monoprice HDMI cable, both bargains of quite good quality.

Not really... My QC35s have taken a beating over the years, including several falls, and still intact.
