Interesting review, my son is considering it. It would be his only over the hear model, he listens to contemporary music, and would wear it on the go. Which other models would you recommend more for the same budget, please?
They are dual-driver wireless. That's kind of 2 red flags for monitoring, unless your idea of monitoring is a 50$ ChiFi knockoff that has "monitoring" on the box. That's not to say that they bad - for the price that's the best sound and, more importantly, comfort(and even flagship Sony was too tight for me) that I've tried. However, for the same price I got T50RP for home usage. And, obviously, as punchy and vivid as Mondos are - they aren't matching a single large quality planar driver. Nor are they matching the possibility of feeding it through a decent output, and not a wireless codec. And the same applies to any wireless headphones. Be it Sony, Apple or even wireless professional audio brands. I used AKG K371BT before they broke(infamously discontinued model), and while for the price (~100$ at the time) the audio was top notch, it was obviously considerably worse than Fostex and even these Mondos, and that was supposed to be a BT version of their popular K371. Maybe the codec was as bad as the mic.

I would like a review of the mondo by defunc on-ear model
I would like to see a review of the monoprice 144517 dual driver headphones
Advertised as noice cancelling but they are not
Plastic adjustment in the headband? I haven't messed with that since the old days of Skullcandy. Used to fail constantly. That's a big downside.
Disappointing. They look beautiful.
So good monitoring headphones? 9:44
