(8,601 posts)First problem is they're from Best Buy.
Second problem is they're Monster brand, who are notorious for selling $60 HDMI cables.
Third, they have some stupid rapper's name on them.
All of that together means there are very likely pairs of $60 monitors out there that sound every bit as good.

Sennheiser HD 280 PRO's are what are found in most recording studios these days, and they are $99.00
