Quote from a moderator at Head-Fi: "If Skullcandy comes out with a headphone that sounds good, I'm interested. I don't care about brands, I care about good sound. If it sounds good, I'll buy it and recommend it. Same goes for Bose and Monster. Make a good headphone and you'll be praised for it." This was dated february 2011, so things haven't changed yet for those brands. Not that I should bring this up, since I already mentioned that Monster does have a good IEM line, just that their circumaural and supraaural headphones suck.
