Monster iSport Strive

Solid equipment

The Monster iSport line of headphones includes both wireless and wired headphones recommended for people with an active lifestyle. Monster iSport Strive is no exception, and will please the discerning user with its original cup design and decent sound characteristics.

Equipment

The assembly quality of the device can already be seen from the packaging, as the model comes in a hard box with a hinged lid, and, in order to avoid damage, the device itself is tightly fixed on a solid plastic substrate. In addition to the headphones, the set includes: a clip, a storage case and three pairs of interchangeable ear pads made of silicone with an antibacterial coating, which allows you to clean them from dirt and sweat.

Headphones are presented in three colours: blue, black and orange.

Landing

The cups have an oblong shape, taking into account the anatomical structure of the ear and the patented SportClip ear hook for a secure fit.

If you choose the right size of the ear cushions, then in the presented headphones you can easily conquer both mountain peaks on a bicycle and park alleys on roller skates.

The outside is adorned with a chrome trim with the brand logo, and on the back there is an open speaker grille.

Additional chips

If you're traveling with goggles or riding with a helmet on, the flat cable is a godsend, as it's designed to eliminate tangles and knots, but it's also less tangled in your pocket. For ease of use, a sealed remote control with three soft buttons is located on the cable, thanks to which you can adjust the volume, stop tracks and answer calls without interrupting your main activity. The remote control is equipped with a sensitive microphone that transmits voice clearly even in noisy places. Headphones are connected using the L-shaped mini-Jack plug (3.5 mm). The absolute advantage of the model can be considered moisture resistance.

Sound

Pure Monster Sound proprietary sound technology allows you to reproduce a wide sound stage, keeping the high and low frequencies at the proper level. Unfortunately, a certain blockage is felt at mid frequencies, and vocal compositions acquire a dull sound. But, given that the headphones were not intended for music lovers, critics, and the main emphasis was on background music for sports, the presented accessory deserves the attention of the buyer.

The disadvantages also include incorrectly working volume buttons paired with iOS and some Android devices, such as Motorola smartphones. But moderate noise isolation, which allows you to listen to tracks without breaking away from the sounds of the outside world, will be an absolute advantage.
