Which is the right--which is the left? Is the mike on the right or left wire?
A shopper

How's the BASS??
A shopper

Are these Triple XXX Triple Driver Earphones (Product # 18516) available with bluetooth connectivity?
Rohit S
on Jan 24, 2017
They can plug into a portable Bluetooth receiver and you can tie off the cable to that, at or near the neck. Otherwise no, these are a pair of wired/corded earphones. I didn’t find one on Monoprice but Amazon carries them for around $15.
Monoprice does sell an inexpensive BT earphone for $15 which may be the better option. Check Product ID: 15274.

Great Earbuds
I have used many imported IEMs, and these are by far the best.The sound if more balanced and not so tinny. The only problem I have is when I use a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter. You have to position the 1/8" jack "just so" or it won't connect. I think this is because of the microphone. I think monoprice should focus on the use as an IEM, and forget about the microphone.

Good overall. Better with foam tips. High end is overblown making it uncomfortable at high volumes
I have worn these earbuds often for around 6 months listening to a variety of music and have run them with various eqs, I also invested in foam tips for them to improve isolation. After owning them for a while I have concluded the following. Cons: The high ends around 8k are out of proportion to the rest of the sound, making them tinny and hissy at higher volumes. It becomes uncomfortable because of it. I ran them through a equalizer and cut them at 8k -5db and the sound improved dramatically. The microphone is sub par: words are hard to distinguish what's being said while on a call. Pros: The cord is very tangle free, even when wrapping it odd ways. The build quality of the earbuds is very solid

Incredible!
I was more than delighted! I read the specs and saw the reviews and had these on my radar for a while, then bought them on sale. I used them with a radio and was impressed! I used them with my phone to watch a movie and was more impressed! I could hear the superbass that movies have, plus the spacial stereo is even better than on a sound system. Wish I would have bought them long ago.

Not Quite Reference Monitors
Comfortable enough to wear over long periods of time, which is important to me while I edit audiobooks. I also use the Stage Right Reference Headphones (605055) and PreSonus Eris 4 monitors. The Triple Driver Earbuds provide noticeable less bass response so they won't be my "go to" reference monitors when I'm evaluating audio or mixing. Not that they are intended for that purpose; however, based on the frequency response graphic, I had hoped these would give me one more viable option. Still, I'm not unhappy, I use them every day, and am overall satisfied with the purchase.

Very clear - they sound way above their price polnt
Amazing clarity. I broke them in by letting them play all night by themselves. The next day they were sweet and mellow. You can spend a lot more but these are high-grade buds. They are not noise cancelling, do not need batteries, and have no bells or whistles. I use a decent DAC and they offer an amazing sound, better than all my other earbuds. Go for them.

OK, but not stellar.
The earbuds work ok. I have two issues with them. 1) Even using the largest rubber covers, they don’t seal well in my ears. 2) Imwasmthinking the control would work the volume on my iPhone, but it doesn’t.
