Purity By Monster impressions

Hi

I wanted to share my thoughts about my experience with the 3 different headphones that www.puritybymonster.com offer.

* WH-930

These wher the first ones I tried out, the sound quality was pretty good but since they are the "On ear" type they started to hurt my ear after a little while. I really liked the cable that came with it though since it could control answer the phone and volume up/down

* WH-920

This is the "in-ear" type which I couldn't use at all, they could simply not stay in the ear but kept poping out. And the sound quality was not very impressive at all.

* BH-940

These are the most expensive "around ear" headphones they offer and let me tell you I had some high hopes for theese ones. They are very stylish, great features and really good sound quality. The noise cancelation also worked very well. But they are too heavy and have to little headband couching, therfore they where uncomfortable after a litte while.

I must say that after have tried all these 3 models I'm very disapointed since they are made specificaly for the Nokia phones in mind, and they have all the funcionality that should be there. I mean headphones need have great sound, be stylish and all that, but they have to be comfortable to wear otherwise it does not matter.

Now I find myself looking at other headphones like the Sennheiser PXC 450 or the Bose QuietComfort 15, they don't have the ability to skip track or answer the phone using a cable but they are at least comfortable and are supposed to have great sound too.

I have been using the iPhone eco system for quite a while but have jumped over to Lumia 920, but is quite disapointed by the lack of acessories, Nokias colaboration with Monster should have produced better headphones.
