Our take on the Monster® iSport Immersion

High-performance 'phones for the hardcore athlete ...or the weekend warrior

Monster iSport Immersion in blue

Nothing pumps up your workout or adds excitement to your favorite indoor and outdoor sports like great music. But it's hard to focus on your game if your headphones keep falling out or if they self-destruct when they get wet. With iSport Immersion by Monster, that's a problem you won't have. These durable, fully machine-washable headphones can really go the distance. They feature a patented SportClip design with soft, flexible stabilizers that gently hug the inner rim of each ear to hold them firmly in place — no matter how much you move. You get fantastic Monster-quality sound and a secure, comfortable fit that won't get in the way of your goggles, glasses or helmet.

Customizable for a comfortable fit

Monster includes a selection of sound isolating eartips, so you can find the set that gives you the most comfortable fit. They're designed to keep out external sound and moisture. The OmniTip™ eartip nozzles swivel, allowing them to conform more comfortably to your ears.

Great Headphones for Active Sports

Written By MarkR, Vail, CO on Wednesday, November 23, 2011
 
I'm super active in a variety of sports (cycling, running, skiing) and have struggled to find headphones that stay in place. The over the ear contraptions drive me crazy, don't fit well under my helmets and in most cases start to hurt! The standard ear buds simply fall out out of my ears.

I was given a pair of iSport headphones to try without any expectation of a positive review. They took a little time to get setup with a wide assortment of fitment pieces to fit correctly 'inside' your ears. It's an ingenious design that hold the ear buds in your ear but can be a little tricky at first. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's easy to pop them in.

They do a great job of blocking wind noise while cycling and have good sound quality. I always like a little more bass, but have to remember these aren't Dr Dre Beats! The most impressive feature for me was the built-in mic and controls. I had a phone conversation while riding and the person on the other end of the line was very surprised I was riding. Just walking with standard ear bud mics, it can sound like you're in the middle of a hurricane. With these, there was minimal wind noise through the mic while riding. A great feature that will allow me to participate in more conference calls while I'm excercising!

The tangle free cord is a huge plus, as well. These are great headphones for the active person, especially if you've struggled with ear buds before.
Pros:
Great sound quality, headphones stay in place while active, mic shields wind noise
Cons:
Takes some time to setup fit correctly

Running earbids

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Crutchfield Customer Review

The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

 
Took awhile to find the perfect fit with the earbud combination, but once that is done earbuds stays in the ear pretty good. Tangle free cord is nice. Don't have to worry about the moisture from sweating.
Pros:
Good fit. Tangle free. Nice overall running earbuds.
Cons:
Not as loud as I'd like. Cost

Monster® iSport Immersion

Written By mahenry, Seattle, WA on Saturday, December 10, 2011
 
When I got these earphones, I immediately wanted to put them in, but I was a little bit overwhelmed by the number of options for getting them to fit my ears. When I eventually did get around to trying to fit them, it felt like nothing I could do would make them stay in. As it turned out, I was basically not tucking them in correctly, but I wouldn't have known without a friend's help.

I do like the number of options I have to make sure these earphones have the perfect fit. The ear clips, the ear buds .. even the positioning of the ear buds are customizable. And that's been one of my biggest complaints about other ear buds. These are really hard to have fall out, and as a runner that's very important to me; I don't want to be messing with dangling earbuds during a race! I also love the integrated controls. These are great for me as I run.

* I did received these headphones at no cost in return for giving a fair, honest and unbiased review of the headphones, with no expectation of a favorable review.
Pros:
Very customizable Works with my iPhone for calls and controlling music. Comfortable but tight fit. These won't come out easily. Great and drowning out other sounds at work!
Cons:
Initial setup was a bit daunting. Still not sure I've put enough effort into setting them up perfectly for me.
