Waiting for the ControlTalk version was worth it!,
I’ve held out for awhile purchasing these earphones because they had no mic (I’m well aware you can buy adapters to add a mic to any headphone, but I figured it’s more to carry and it’d probably look ugly). It’s about time they’ve came out with the, “Control Talk” version of this pair. I’ve tested the microphone, and I was surprised how clear it sounds! The earphone itself is such a unique and fun design (by the way, I’ve always thought it’s alot bigger then what it actually is…it’s quite small and cute for the triangle design), aside that I am a huge Lady Gaga fan!
I’ve read some reviews saying that it doesn’t fit all that well and can be uncomfortable (but watch out! if it is uncomfortable it could be a fake too…more info at the end of this review) maybe it’s a personal opinion, but they are very comfy for me. Monster supplies you with 5 pairs of ear bud sizes and I found a great fit for my ears. The sound quality is great (I could tell the difference between my $50 Sony ear buds compared to these) and having a case with it to protect these pricey things are a definite plus!
More info about the ControlTalk (aside of the built in mic for phones), you can:
* Answer or end a call
* Decline an incoming call
* Use call waiting
* Play or pause a song or video
* Skip to the next or previous song/chapter
* Scan forward or backward through a song or video
* Control the volume
(The $15 adapter I was thinking about buying for the non-ControlTalk version of Heartbeats so I could have a microphone, definitely can’t do ALL those features! Such as scanning, call waiting, or skipping to the next song.)
I’m sure the ControlTalk information you can find elsewhere too, but hopefully I saved the trouble of some people trying to research it themselves.
All in all, it’s a great and wonderful product and I’m very satisfied. Money well spent for me.
P.S. Beware of the FAKE Heartbeats! They look VERY identical (packaging/headphones/everything) but the easiest way to spot the difference compared to the authentic ones is that they do NOT come with 5 ear bud pairs (1 including what’s already on the headphones itself, fake ones usually come with 3), though unfortunately some fake Heartbeats do come with 5 pairs. They are noticeably uncomfortable for many and of course not much of a sound quality difference.
A bad review (she said it was very uncomfortable) for the Heartbeats I found came to the fact that the person who bought it, spent about $65 online thinking it was a good deal but she ended up getting a fake one (someone else on the forum I read asked how many pairs of earbuds did she get and she said 3)!

|Not so thought out design.,
I got these earbuds because my best friend has a set without the control talk and loves them. My friend is so infatuated with Lady Gaga but they also get pretty good reviews so I decided to try them out. I bought these earbuds directly from Amazon here where you are reading this so I know their were the real deal. I had to return mine because of the left ear bud going in and out especially while walking or moving. Overall I don’t think the design was too thought out. I realize most people buying these are Lady Gaga fans or like them flashy stylish look of them. I felt that they were too uncomfortable and heavy to be used daily.
To start the earbuds are so heavy that when you walk or move much you have to continuously push them back in your ear or they will fall out. This annoyed me and I read some reviewer stated he worked out with them. I honestly don’t see how. Next the triangular shape is very uncomfortable. Almost any angle that you put them in your ear the corner pieces of the earbud is sticking your ear. I asked my friend about this who loves his set and he told me you’ll get use to it. YEAH RIGHT! I said. I mean I love the look as well but quality and comfort is my number one priority. I’m glad I bought them through Amazon because they made it easy to return the product. Also, the control talk feature takes some getting use to but I had to patience with that feature after all the other issues. I wish someone would have told me about these things before I spent so much on a set.
btw…many reviewers always try to say use the different set of earbuds. That does not work. No matter what set of ear buds that I used that came with the set I continued to have problems. I hope this helps.

|Read Fine Print,
I purchased these from Abes of Maine. The first they come in a different db case. Apparently it is noted on Amazon when you purchase. I still have yet to find where that information is located. I did over look this because oh well it’s just the case. They came with 5 sets of ear tips none of which are the triple layer ones that are advertised. Basically do not look at the photo. It is not what you are getting.
So the first set the right earphone kept cutting out. I paid a little over buck and mailed them back. The second set the control talk would not work. It still does not work. An employee from Abe’s e-mailed me a list of phones that they work with and even though the phone I am using is on the list.
Sometimes I wonder if they even real. Abe’s is an authorized dealer, however any part of these that has writing or the heart on it has rubbed off.
I recommend buying new from the store. Cheaper is not always better.
