So a few weeks ago, I got sent a pair of these MOS003 black in-ear headphones from Ministry of Sound to try out after I had initially checked them out at an earlier listening event. Outta the six or seven different varied headphones, this one stood out the most for me because the sound these seemingly tiny in-ears produce was just hands and shoulders beyond but sometimes first impressions can be deceiving right? Right of course in some cases but in the case of these MOS003 headphones, there's no deceit involved! They sound BEYOND and you will enjoy these headphones!
The first real test for these headphones came in the form of James Blake's "Wilhelms Scream" and I'll tell you why. A few months ago when we first got the Beats by Dre Monster headphones, the first song we listened to was "Wilhelms Scream" and those Beats headphones unlocked sounds in that record that we previously never heard so we had to see if these MOS003 headphones retailing at £29.99 could do what those Beats by Dre headphones retailing at over £200 did... An unfair match up certainly but the MOS003 headphones pass our test resoundingly as you really couldn't ask for more from consumer-directed headphones and granted, they are no Beats by Dre, the sound quality on these £30 headphones really stand out and hold it's own.
I am currently listening to Goblin from LA-based Hip-Hop collective head honcho Tyler, the Creator on the pod and my MOS003s do perfectly to amplify and accentuate the detail in the album from disharmonious chord progressions to 90's styled synths to DIY drum patterns in what is an otherwise half-baked Neptunes-sounding record but alas I digress... Back to the MOS003 headphones, they are pretty dope is all I'm saying.
They are £29.99 from the Ministry of Sound online store as well as from HMV and they are well worth it! Actually after having used these for close to a month now, I reckon they're actually worth more than that. You should definitely check them out. They make everything sound better + they also come in chrome but definitely go for the black. Extra SLEEK!
