Is there a ridge/valley on the tip to keep the ear tips in place, or is there any problem with the ear tips coming off?
Martin R
on Oct 30, 2020
BEST ANSWER: There is a ridge to stop the ear tips from going on too far but not to hold them into place. The ridge to stop the tips doesn't work very well. That said, I've only had one tip come off since I've owned these. 6+months of use.

Yes. There’s a little lip that keeps the rubber tip in place. They are held in place quite nicely. I have not experienced any sliding or twisting of the tip.

This is a problem I have on other in ear headsets. I have not had this problem once with the quintets. The earpieces for on very securely to the flange.

The wier wraps around the back of the ear, it is very secure, the ear tips are secure on a ridge, they don't come off

No problem. The ear tips snap on a ridge and stay on.

Is this compatible with Apple’s usb lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter? Thanks.

The headphones will plug into any female 3.5mm jack. iPhones do not generate a lot of volume through their headphone outputs, plus iPhones have a noise threshold where they actually automatically decrease volume based on accumulated SPLs exposed

do you make replacement ear tips for these headphones?
Matthew H
on Mar 2, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Monoprice didn’t carry silicone tips on their website as of 29 March 2022. However, the earphones use somewhat of a universally sized earphone sound port that would fit many different silicone ear piece tips. There are other vendors, such as Dekoni and JLab, that sell sets of tips (without headphones ) made from memory foam and silicone to accommodate many different earphone tip shapes and sizes.

If monoprice doesn’t have replacement tips - these ear buds are a standard size and can order thru a third party company on Other sites.

What replacement cables would you recommend for these ear monitors? A few reviews mentioned that the cables that come with these are crap and so they replaced them with better cables.
Gregg P

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
We would not sell replacement cables for these in ear monitors but you can use other 0.78mm 2pin CIEM cables to replace them.

Best of both worlds
No one speaker can produce all sounds well. Luckily these can split those duties amongst 5 speakers per ear. 3 BA's for the highs, 2 DD for the lows.
Detachable 2 pin connector allows you to make them bluethooth
Really wish they came with foam tips, but you can find replacement tips of the appropriate diameter elsewhere

Mastering Engineer tries them
I decided to try these on sale. Definitely impressed with the sound after putting on some 4.5mm foam tips from amazon. $7
Was hoping that they would block out more interior car engine noise while driving. The acoustic noise blocking doesn't seem to change much, I was hoping for more of an iem on stage kind of experience. It blocks enough that sometimes its hard to hear someone talking softly from a few feet away. I would say a 15db cut is generous. In quiet studio environments these are very nice. For the price, these are amazing performers. For a portable synth jam in the forest, this is an amazing product. You can hear every detail. They perform even better when you sort out the correct fit with the after market tips. Well designed and worth the money.

Forget earphones, you need IEMs like these if you're serious about music quality.
I never realized the clarity of IEMs compared to traditional earphones, I can hear notes that I never realized existed in the songs I like!
Regular earphones (you know the traditional wired/wireless in war phones like Beats, Air Pods, Skull Candy etc etc) have a single speaker that has to do all the work (lows, mids, highs) these have 5 speakers inside!
I paired the Quintents with the Soundblaster Super X Fi mini amplifier and the Quintents ($49) beat what I thought were my high quality earphones by Sennheiser ($199 for earphones, what was I thinking) in terms of clarity across all bands. How can $49 earphones perform better than a brand name like Sennheiser? It all comes back to having multiple speakers I believe, each having their own job.

Happy with my 1st pair of IEMs
The quintet IEMs are definitely an upgrade from my standard off the shelf headphones and earbuds. Would buy again should anything happen to these.

Very nice. I would buy again.
I got to use them five times before I misplaced them. After I put memory foam tips on them. I really got to hear the musical detail of the bass.

I purchased these in ear wired headphone for running purposes only but after a short burn in, I discovered that these inexpensive headphones were too excellent in sound quality for use a running headphones but would be used as my reference headphones. The highs are crisp and clear. The mids have meat on the the bones but very clear and articulate. The bass is quick and hits very low. Overall and excellent buy, job well done MONOPRICE.

Excellent
Christmas present for my boyfriend. He loves them and uses them all the time for work conferences and music while he works out. He likes that he can take them out of his ears but still leave them in place because of the over-ear design. He takes advantage of the microphone functionality frequently.
