Making our way up to the phones themselves, they both come equipped with 9mm neodymium magnets and an impedance of 32 ohms. Boasting a frequency response of 20Hz ~20KHz and less than 1% total harmonic distortion, these buds sound great even without the noise cancelation Read More
These are actually really different from those under 10 dollar earbuds. The major thing that these have is Active Noise Canceling, which is actually pretty great. It is powered, so it does need a battery, but the tech in these is comparable (and much less expensive) with this line of Bose headphones. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/index.jsp
Yes, I was aware. :) I was simply pointing out that I think Monoprice has a fairly decent track record in making great earbuds for cheap. Thanks for the clarification!
Does anyone have a link to these on Monoprice? I'm having a hard time finding these earbuds (as they don't appear to be headphones in the image -- real headphones keep coming up in searches instead.)
