Monster Lil' Jamz™ In-Ear Speaker



Product Description

From the Manufacturer



Big Sound in a Small Package -
Don’t let the small size or name fool you. These little guys pack a big Monster sound that you’ll find hard to believe, even after you listen to them.

It’s All About Knowing How -
After building some of the best performing headphones in the world, Monster knows how it’s done. Next, our challenge was to see how small we could get them. The result? Lil’ Jamz. Big sound.

How Does Something So Small Have So Much Bass? -
That’s the magic. Not only low, but with punch, almost like being at the club. Plus, Lil’Jamz are so small and light, you can take them anywhere.

Solid For a Reason -
These lightweight gems are solid, and for good reason. Unlike inexpensive plastic buds, Lil Jamz are made of solid metal that doesn’t resonate—so all you hear is the music—with no artificial vibrations to pollute the sound. That’s why the music is crystal clear and razor sharp. The bass is super tight. Plus, these little babies are nearly indestructible.

Important Monster Performance and Safety Tips -
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your Lil' Jamz™ In-Ear Speakers.™ After placing the Lil'Jamz in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.
Avoid listening at high volume levels for prolonged periods. This may cause permanent hearing damage or loss.
Be aware of your surroundings and use Lil'Jamz responsibly. Do not use Lil'Jamz when it is unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing streets at crosswalks, or during any activity or environment where your full attention to your surroundings are required.
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level Turbine Pro will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels then ever before.

Lil'Jamz Specs -
Advanced driver design for extended full range sound.
Solid, precision-machined single-billet metal housing cancels unwanted vibrations for the purest sound.
Hard black chrome finish keeps headphones shinning like they did day one; no polish needed.
Rugged strain relief protects the cable and withstands heavy-duty use.
Advanced Monster Cable patented technologies for accurate and clear audio.

Isolation ▅▅▅▅▅5
Comfort ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅7

Quick Sum: It's one of the best looking and best chrome housing IEM I ever tried. It feel very very solid! Not to mention the cable, it's thicker than others and tangle free. Isolation is around -19db, similar to CX300. This is one of the most comfortable IEM I ever tried but it take some time for me to wear it properly. If you don't get a proper seal sound quality suffers.

Sound Signature: Warm, Strong Lower Mids, better than average details

Quick Sum: We are not talking about muffle bass or non-acurate bass but accurate tight bass. Not as deep as a subwoofer, which is good because it won't drain the details. The lower mid is very strong, good details. If compare to CX300-II, it's not muffle, almost have the same soundstage but better mid's. The high's is better than average. It's suitable for modern POP, especially Remix modern POP!

Overall ▅▅▅▅▅▅6

Quick Sum: For the price(RRP RM440), it's slightly expensive than many good IEMs. But it's one of the coolest and good build quality IEM with a leather pouch! SQ wise is better than average but good when you listen to modern POP!

Contender: Sennheiser CX400-II - Less Bass, precise instruments but slight laid back mids.

Anyway, speaking of the IEM, it's actually RM440 from Digitech's thread Monster's IEMs are always very gd looking, but not sure whether it worth the premium price or not.

the design reminded me of my PL21.... where is that lil sucker anyways...???

im still a noob in this forum...

i think ...
the describtion.. is too much of marketting words, which the person who write it has seriously no ideal how to position their product.. rather than just hype it all the way to the best.. due to the primium price..

better remove all the describtion.. it's a bit geli...
especially the "best performing headphone in the world"

u geli... i puke already....

Luckily baby Stax no in front of you...

Well I hv to put the description for some reason(it's the manufacturer description not mine!), but i think my rating is pretty fair. It's really not bad. The build quality is good(thick chrome metal housing) but i'm worried about the cable since there is no strain relief...

"best performing headphone in the world", a word that's a big NONO in the world of earphone/headphone xD Normally IEM that has thick has pretty terrible microphonic effect, how about this one? What's strong lower mids BTW?

I think the best they mention is refer to Monster Studio.

Lower mid that i refer to is around 100Hz - 1200Hz => bass drums bass guitar, lower vocal range

The Beats Studio is kinda Monster products are mediocre, so far the only product that few ppl say is gd is the Monster Turbine, but the selling price in M'sia still pretty disappointing.

The best of Monster is Monster Turbine Pro Copper. In US they sell it for $220!

I see, kinda pricey. Do share some pics of the Jamz with us

Monster prices quoted in Malaysia comes with 1 to 1 exchange warranty.

That's the guarantee you are paying for, besides the quality earphone.

Another guarantee is that you can be sure it's not counterfeit.

If you buy from US online, you are not 100% secure from counterfeit. Even some sellers don't even know they are selling fakes.

I see, that pretty much explains why it's so expensive here.

Final Review + Picture Uploaded

Nice review. Well done.

Will also come with Hwee Seng (E) Sdn Bhd warranty card, if there's any spoilt unit within warranty period, bring the card + faulty unit for exchange. =)
