I'm David karo executive editor for cnet.com and I'm here with the monster diamond tears headphones these are monsters currently hottest selling headphones and they are a whopping three hundred dollars these are obviously very flashy looking headphones with a unique design these are geared towards women though some men will certainly be able to rock them I would include our own brian tong in that crowd but these are more of a female friendly headphone they do reflect light and they come in two colors right now this is kind of a bluish purple with black ear pads and there is a crystal model that has white ear pads that said there are more colors coming in 2013 so expect to have more choices these are on ear headphones they are fairly comfortable for on ear headphones they're a little bit tight but the ear pads are nicely padded and they have kind of a teardrop design I would say that folks with a bigger ears will have a little bit more hard time with these they do seal out a lot of sound they do leak a little sound but all in all a comfortable pair of on ear headphones they also seem well built that you fold up a little bit and fit into a soft carrying case there's a straight cord for audio purists and then two cords with inline remotes and microphones ones for Apple device users and ones for Android device users and other types of phones another small feature worth mentoring there are two jacks in the headphones a left and right that means you can plug into either headphone and it also means that someone else can plug in their headphones into the open Jack and you can kind of daisy chain your headphones and listen to one device at the same time as for sound quality these may surprise some folks for a flashy headphone they do sound good and I did like them better than some of monsters other high style headphones headphones like the DNA which is a little bit cheaper than this model but this one does sound better it's fairly neutral for a monster everyone that means it doesn't push a ton of bass there is ample bass but it isn't barring there's good detail here however that said you can certainly find headphones in the 150 to 200 dollar price range that sound as good as these or even slightly better of course people first and foremost are buying these for their aesthetics and they do come with a cleaning cloth any little spray bottle of monster shine so you can buff them up ask the question of whether these are worth three hundred dollars well a lot of these status headphones are overpriced and the diamond tears certainly are too but at least they have good sound so you're getting some decent performance along with the flashy looks I'm David karna and these are the monsters diamond tears headphones thanks for watching
