Monster Elements Bluetooth Over-ear Wireless Headphones Review

The Monster Elements are a truly exceptional pair of headphones. They are jam-packed with features that are all backed up by absolutely phenomenal sound quality, operating entirely wirelessly. They are a near perfect set of cans.

The big standout with these is how good they sound, regardless of musical or game genre. I particularly like the classy touchpad controls and the twistable ear cups make it really easy to remove one ear cup while still listening in – something that can be quite handy if you are trying to finish that game but your spouse really needs to tell you something right then and there.

Battery life and the on-board microphone are also excellent – there really is very little negative to say about this headset.

But of course there are some things. The headband is the big one. I will have to ask Monster what the company was thinking as I cannot fathom choosing this (admittedly very grippy) genuinely quite uncomfortable rubber for the headband.

I would be debating with myself whether to give these a 10/10 if it simply had memory foam on the headband instead. Granted, it is hard to award such a score to a product that is priced so far out of what most people can afford, but the best of the best deserve to be awarded as such.

The Monster Elements headphones are perhaps the best sounding wireless headphones I have ever used, with an innovative control mechanism, long battery life and some neat features. I just wish the headband did not feel like it was pulling on your hair when you put it on.

You can buy the Monster Elements directly from the manufacturer for 350 euros (around £300).

KitGuru Says: Even though I do not particularly like the headband cushioning, it is easily overlooked as these are truly fantastic apart from that one wrinkle.
