CONCLUSION

   Prior to start testing we had the MS01 8mm in-ear monitor set burn-in (some refer to it as break-in) for a total of 40 hours and although that might not be nearly enough to get the best possible results and i know that many people seem to disagree with this entire procedure but i just feel that by following this procedure we can get a more accurate result. So during the entire month of testing we used the MS01 with an iPod, 2 Apacer MP3/4 players, an iPhone 4S, the Logitech Squeezebox Touch and my two Yamaha A/V amplifiers (with the help of an 6.35mm gold plated adapter). First of all the MS01 produced natural, deep and warm bass just like Thinksound claims in just about everything we threw at it from heavy metal, rock and jazz songs to movies and even games (they actually do listen to their earphones prior to releasing them). Midrange response was also natural but also accurate, rich and crisp so no problems here either (A+). Highs were not just as accurate but at least with the content we used we were quite pleased with the result, besides i have yet to find an earphone set which is perfect across the board so i guess that can't be helped. Quality wise there's not really much to say except that the wooden/metal housing along with the Kevlar reinforced cable should guarantee a long life span for the MS01. Perhaps the sole thing missing from the bundle is a 6.35mm adapter but i doubt many people would find use for it so i guess Thinksound was right to keep the cost from increasing.

   Usually when a manufacturer releases a professional grade product you always expect it to cost quite much but even though Thinksound classifies the MS01 as a studio monitor set the price is actually quite low and currently set at USD99.99 inside the USA (either from their own online store or eBay). Unfortunately the MS01 8mm in-ear monitor set is not available inside the EU as we speak but Thinksound does ship it overseas so if you really want to own them that's your best shot right now. Personally i can't really say if the MS01 is rightfully reported as a studio monitor set (i can't claim that my ears are the best out there) but it managed to become my primary/favorite daily earphone set in just under a month (the AirJax Titanium 2 by Atomic Floyd were my favorite till this day) so i guess that speaks for itself and because of that it receives our Platinum award.
