Trampled by Turtles – Wait so Long: This is perhaps the best example of the performance quality that the Gratitude headphones are able to produce. During the intro violin solo, there’s a banjo playing in the background, which sounds just fine until you realize that there is also a rhythm guitar playing, which I had no idea about until listening in with the Gratitudes. Every single layer: guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, violin, vocals, it is all easily distinguishable and clear, and in many cases sounds like it is being played live in the same room.

Lynyrd Skynrd – Sweet Home Alabama: You might think this song should be in the Classic Rock section, but I put it here, so that’s where it goes. The opening guitar comes in crisp, clear, and beautiful, and when the vocals kick in, it’s actually possible to tell that he’s holding the microphone slightly too close initially, something that is virtually undetectable on any other sound system. Not only do the solos sound fantastic, but when the band plays together, it is still possible to distinguish each individual part of the whole.

10 Years – Wasteland: Before we get into the actual music, it is worth noting that my roommate walked in during this song, and it took me a few seconds to distinguish that his voice had nothing to do with anything running on the computer, but was coming from within my room. If that doesn’t adequately describe how eerie the sound quality of these headphones is, I don’t know what will. Back to the music, on every other sound system I have listened to this song on, it becomes fairly difficult to distinguish the bass from the rest of the background music during several parts of the song, but with the Gratitudes it comes through crisp and clear for the entire four minute song.

The Fall of Troy – F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X: The intro solo to this song becomes muddled and a confused on nearly every system I have heard it played on, with the echoing effect distorting the sound quality. Though it’s not perfect, the quality on Monster’s headphones is far and away the best I have experienced. Not only does the guitar sound fantastic, but once the bass and drumset are layered in, the sound quality does nothing but improve. As stated before, the bass is insufficient for any window shaking, but for rock music, it’s absolutely perfect.

A Day to Remember – All I Want: As can be expected by now, every aspect of the song sounds absolutely beautiful, is easily distinguished from the rest of the song, and sounds as close to a live performance as you can get. Surprisingly, this is far and away the best sounding bass I have been able to produce from the Gratitudes, with a ground trembling ‘umph’ being pumped directly to my brain.
I also very much appreciate how tastefully the Monster/Gratitude logos are placed on the headphones themselves; they are prominent and easily read, but not pasted all over the product.
