HN seem to have the best price for these in-ear headphones - usually $179, Harvey's latest catalogue has them for $78 each. Price is for in store only, delivery is an additional $5.95. Not sure of quality, but being Monster, this price is probably more reflective of what they're worth.
At time of posting most stores had these in stock.
In terms of other prices:
3.7/5 for these monsters and 4.1/5 for the Pistons (Headfi, because no detailed review sites ever touch monster?)
If your budget is $78 (or even under) there are much better options, especially for IEMs.
But won't those numbers take into account the price? For RRP, they may be 3.7, but for half that price(or less) surely that would bump up the score.
Generally when reviewing audio products, the price is ignored in favour of judging them on their sound quality and other merits.

Eg. UE600's are a much better all rounder. Along with MEElectronics A151's and others.
Yes, price is always considered when reviewing any product
The review score might change, but product (audio) quality doesn't magically increase with a lower price tag.
can you name some of these options? Cheers.
How do these compare to the Pistons?
