Can these be converted to Bluetooth?

BEST ANSWER: Get a cheap MPOW 4.1 bluetooth adapter, or a FiiO Bttr3, and use the existing cables, or spend a bit more, get the Radsone Earstudio, and set of 2.5mm balanced MMCX cables and make these puppies really shine.

How is the sound leak? If I wear these on the bus, will everyone hear my music?

There is some sound leakage as they are semi-open by design. At the volumes I tend to listen to, it is not a problem. However, since you are using them on the bus, be aware they are not sound isolating and there are times when I use them commuting on the train when the background noise can become annoying.

The guy who falls asleep with his head on your shoulder will hear them, but not many other people, unless you have one hell of an amp and are cranking it, which would probably keep that guy from falling asleep with his head on your shoulder in the first place...

well, it's an open back earphone, so there will be sound leakage. unless you're listening to your music at full volume, i doubt anyone in the bus would care. so yes, it does leak sound and people will hear your music. hope that helps.

Are these suitable to use as in ear monitors playing live, on stage?
New User U
on Dec 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No, probably not. These are essentially open back headphones. Do not expect to isolate outside nose with these. Similarly, others can hear what you're listening to if you have them cranked up loud enough. Saying this, they do sound excellent and are quite bargain cost/quality.

I would not recommend it, the units have open backs, so do not isolate as well as typical IEM's used for performance and would not work well for much physical movement due to how they are secured to the ear. Sound quality is good, however.

Thank you, sir, but one of the things I hate about isolating IEM's is because they, well, ISOLATE you from the dynamics that are happening around you on the stage and in the venue. And there's something about that dynamic that can drive the music. I may try them, anyway. But, thanks again.

I want to buy these in a few days but I have a few questions. These are better than Apple Airpods? Audio quality wise, I use a Samsung Note 9 and I listen to music like Lana del Rey, hip hop, trap music, edm, goth metal, metal, I also watch movies on vudu and Netflix like lord of the rings, I've heard nothing but good things but most of the YouTube videos talk about orchestra music or like classical music so I'm curious about this before I buy. I just want a better audio experience than airpods but I want to be sure that they're way better than airpods for what I use them. Thanks for anyone who answers!

BEST ANSWER: Q1, yes better than apple air pods. I don't listen to hip hop, or edm. so I don't have a frame of reference. I do like bass, deep and heavy, but not at the expense of vocal clarity, these maintain both. Clarity in bass and vocals is striking. I"m pretty sure you will find them better than apple air pods in all ways but the comfort. they are uncomfortable out of the box. terribly so. they used the same mmcx that they used in full sized headphones, it is a really heavy cord and pulls on your ears. If you get these get the cord that goes around the ear too, or you will wind up sadly returning them (because they sound so good). I got foam ear tips that were recommended in a Z-reviews video on youtube. now I can wear them and listen to them for hours. no need for the clip on attachments, air pods will better for anything other than enjoying music. music is better on these, convenience, comfort (unless you get the cord type mentioned.) (one more tip: for bassy tracks, a snug fit helps the bass, but for anything else they should sit just outside of the ear canal not in, that is how the sound stage gets from meh, to mezmerizing.

Audio quality may be irrelevant--this is a pretty frickin heavy "earphone", which makes it the complete opposite of Airpods--lightweight and good to travel with.
Monoprice's 8320 earphones--which are about 7 bucks, shipping not included--do quite well with bass-heavy music, with the proper equalization.
If you do choose to purchase the M300, do not be afraid to abuse EQ to get it to sound right. I've got mine set in a V-shape, just to get the level of bass and treble I'm used to.
I should also point out that since these are open-back earphones... you're not gonna be taking these outside. I've tried, but a) I gotta turn the volume way up and b) the music will be heard outside.
TL;DR Yes, they sound better than Airpods... but there is more to listening to music than just how the earphones *sound*

1. Obviously they are better than the Air Pods, WAAY WAAAAAYYY BETTER
2. The kind of music you listen is a perfect match for these as the base is thumpy on these and the treble is pretty sharp too.
3. On a side note, they are bigger so the eat hokks are something youll need to get used to. You'll also need to buy 3rd party ear foam for a comfortable fit, I got the comply ones. Also the wire provided isn't the best quality so look into good quality ones, I haven't bought them myself but for some reason the left plug cuts out at a certain rotation which I easily fix by turning and I am not that picky as the audio quality is worth it.
Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions

Hi, I'm a current owner of the Monoprice M300, as well as other Hifi headphones/earphones. I can say with full confidence that buying these over a pair of apple airpods is a wise choice. The difference between consumer level earphones (apple airpods) and audiophile level ear/headphones (M300) are extreme. Do you like sports? Well think of high school basketball vs the NBA, High School football vs the NFL. The monoprice M300 will sound better with every genre of music unequivocally. BUY THESE NOW, and never look back! Please don't waste your money on apple airpods. Welcome to the next level of music listening.. You're welcome!

I would not recommend these, they don't sound very good. I've had very many headphones, and bought these a while ago thinking they could be better or at least as good as the audeze isine... They are not. They sound muddy and the vocals don't stand out at all. Honestly, for the music you're into, I would save up and spend the money on the Sennheiser momentum truly wireless.... Those are phenomenal.

Monolith M300 is the world's cheapest flat-ear headset, but its sound quality is very good, bass dive and elasticity are good, analytic and sound field excellent, human voice ear, there are big headphones feeling. The key is how important it is to wear it. With 3 knots inserted in the ear canal, plus the ue900s headphone line, with the ear-style wearing method, when you wear it, do not want to take off!

5 Stars for the sound quality, total immersion in the music.
Pros: Layering, Sound-stage and true low distortion,brutal!
Cons: Most of the accessories, transport bag and the cable mainly.
Conclusion: Applying a Hacks:replacing the cable with one of the iems in the form of a hanger for the ear, they turn out to be very comfortable to listen at home, I would never use them outside or doing activities with a lot of movement.
Regarding the sound, if you have a dedicated amplifier and apply a good dose of equalization in the bass and treble, it will blow your mind with its incredible capacity.
I love them, because of the incredible immersion in music that I experience with them, they are one of my favorites in my collection.

Great headphones Terrible cable
First I have to say these headphones sound great but monoprice has to work on the cables after dealing with the cables supplied I new that I had to purchase a better set. Well that was a nightmare but thats a whole other story.
I would think that for a company that is known for quality cables that they would supply a better set. But as I stated earlier these headphones sound great with better cables.

Best IEMs I've used to date, the stock cord they come with suck for them, but it's perfect for my modded KPH30i. I will say they were uncomfortable until i realized switching sides and looping them over my ears solved 90 percent of the comfort issues.

Nice soundstage and detail, poor design nozzle, stock cable is too heavy to hand accordingly in your ear, otherwise is very nice product, can not use more than 2-3h , big nozzle hurt my ear , but I love sound of it with nice rebate , Im happy for quality/price
Just update cable memory hook and youre good to use

Not bad for $50, but definitely not work $100
They're fine headphones - the planar magnetic driver does make it better than the typical similar priced iem you'd buy on amazon or something.
That said, I can't exactly recommend these when chinese brands like KZ and CCA exist, whose 12 and 16 driver headsets surpass the M300 in every single way for similar or just slightly higher prices.
When compared to general earbuds, the M300s definitely would be in the top 10% of all. That said, if you're making a value comparison between the M300s and some of the cheaper chinese IEMs, brands like KZ and CCA are just better in every way.
Also, the M300s are a pain to wear. The left side's volume changes significantly based on whether the wire is twisted - don't think it should be doing that. Quality control on these isn't great.

Great sound but needs some time getting use to
For $50 these are amazing. Probably the cheapest planars you can get. The sound signature does require sometime getting use to. The fit isn't the best but it fits me fine. Really wide soundstage.

Back to the drawing board.
I feel like these are a bit lackluster for 50$ (Ordinarily 100$). Dont get me wrong, unboxing them and seeing them for the first time felt cool as heck, but I feel like too much time and effort was wasted on flashy showmanship for a middle of the road earbud. The connectors on the earbuds themselves dont inspire much confidence. Youve got about 1/16 of an inch of actual connector. The sound could best be described as a very cheap M1060 (which I guess it is). The same Monolith flavor carries over, but everything is lacking. On my review of the M1060 I bragged about how well they handled bass without clicking. These click. And scratch. And make plenty of other unpleasant noise when cranked. The treble is... bad. It sounds very artificial. The mids are alright. But just alright. Both the M1060s and these being planar, I was ready for the same planar oomph in an earbud. I was not impressed. Even with the help of the Fiio A5, these are still just not good. Overall verdict has gotta be a 4/10. Keep trying guys, I still love you!

4 star sound, but unusable with stock accessories.
I'm not sure who these were designed for, but I don't think they're made for human ears. The clips barely keep them on my ears, and even then it's very uncomfortable. The tips included are strangely sized and the texture is too smooth to keep the phones in your ears without the clips.
So essentially, unless you have the very strangely shaped ears these were evidently designed for, these are unusable. It's a shame, because they sound pretty good.

Great sound !
These are my first planars. These are incredibly clean, have an excellent soundstage and imaging. I have a full size set of ESS cans with the Heil AMT. These have an even more detailed high end. Low end is nice and tight...not boomy at all. Just as expected from a planar driver. I listen to all types of music, except hip-hop. Lots of jazz and blues. Some have issues with the weight and comfort. I don't have an issue with either. I'm extremely happy with these. Getting them on sale was a bonus as they are worth the full price. Hats off to MP. I have several Monolith products including a subwoofer. All are extremely high quality. I see an amp with my name on it ! Thank You MP !
