That's what this thread is about. The MHP-839 is Monoprice stock number 8323.
I had a pair for a little bit. I saw fit to give them away.
gotcha. wasn't clear on the model numbers.

I just received mine and, I must say, I don't understand what the fuss is all about. The bass and mids are fair, but the treble is rather etched and unpleasant. Not much detail at all either.
They also make my ears sweat and are somewhat uncomfortable due to their weight. They sound about as good as expected for the price. I will be returning these to Monoprice.
Bottlehead is now modifying these and selling them for $150

I won't give mine away. Love the sound and the fit - they feel comfortable to me, and though they are rather large, they aren't heavy at all. If I wear 'em too long I do tend to get sponge-ear, but for me the same can be said for any 'phone or bud. I hate buds, including the Monoprice.
The 8323's are on sale again for $18.56;

Monoprice is out of stock on the 8323:sigh:
This thread caught my eye so I just had to buy the 8323. Sometimes I have more money than brains and this was one of them. I received them yesterday. These are terrible headphones (well almost terrible) but I suppose they are worth $16.00. But when you add shipping it becomes questionable. The whole sound spectrum sounds like it's trapped behind a blanket trying to get out. At least Monoprice heard the comfort complaints and put a half way decent headband on them. Why these phones got so many positive reviews is a mystery to me. For less than the price of trying to upgrade and mod these, spend $15.00 or $20.00 more and buy the Sampson SR850 or Superlux HD668B and get significantly more than your money's worth. The Superlux has a detachable 3.5mm cord. My 8323 will be returned. Just my 2 cents.
Update: After a burn in period of 30 hours, which probably didn't do much, and using the Macetron BT amp/receiver plugin these 8323's have a pretty decent sound after all. Also find that my Nokia device has much better sound quality than android devices. I may keep them if I can get over the cheap pleather earcups. Or transfer some velour cups from a pair of Head Trips I have. Seems the same size.
