Noel Lee: The Creative Mind Driving Monster’s Next-Generation Style &
Sound
Monster founder and “Head Monster” Noel Lee, who was
recently honored with the prestigious Plus X Lifetime Achievement
Award, is the audio expert responsible for the dramatically enhanced
sound quality of the company’s new headphones. After engineering and
tuning the acclaimed Beats by Dr. Dre headphone sound, Lee has gone on
to redefine the quality of the personal listening experience in recent
years, establishing Monster as the clear world leader in advanced,
high-performance headphones. The debut of Inspiration, Diamond Tears and
VEKTR reflects his ongoing mission to redefine headphone sound and
“bring back” great audio performance for all digital music listeners.
Noted Mr. Lee: “Since 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix has been known around the world as an event that signifies the pinnacle of glamour and prestige – which is precisely why we chose this event to preview our new line of headphones. As a company dedicated to better-sounding music, Monster creates products that elevate the music listening experience. Powerful, accurate audio reproduction is always at the forefront of our product creation, accompanied, of course, by style and design. With Inspiration, Diamond Tears and VEKTR, we are giving music lovers everywhere an opportunity to explore new horizons in audio performance, with bold new designs that set the stage for a new era of personal sound and style. The Cannes Film Festival is happening at the same time as the Monaco Grand Prix, so be on the lookout for stylish and high-profile people wearing the newest Monster headphones around town, both at the Grand Prix and the film festival. We’re ‘Monsterizing’ Monaco!”
Inspiration™: Serious Audio. High Style.
Over 30
years in the making, Inspiration headphones are born from Monster’s
tradition of passion for music and innovation. The first-ever Monster
over-ear noise-cancelling headphone, they’re ideal for sophisticated
listeners, frequent travellers and anyone who wants to enjoy a new
point-of-view in luxury personal audio that blends next-generation sound
with streamlined design, total comfort and premium customization. Most
importantly, thanks to Monster’s leading-edge sonic enhancements,
Inspiration headphones bring out more of the truth behind every great
recording. This pure and powerful music reproduction is combined with a
trendsetting “fashion-forward” twist – interchangeable headbands in a
variety of different colors, textures and materials. The bold new
concept in headphone design lets users express themselves by changing
headbands, transforming the entire look and feel to suit style
preferences for any day, mood or occasion.
By combining their advanced audio performance with style-forward design and customization, Inspiration lets users express exactly how their music moves them. Designed for both men and women, they feature a unique angled plush earcup, in addition to their super comfortable, extra wide interchangeable headband.
Diamond Tears™: “Sound with the Clarity of Diamonds”
Monster’s
Diamond Tears headphones are fashion that is both seen and
heard. They feature Monster’s world renowned audio engineering for a
truly unique and powerful personal listening solution. The Diamond Tears
sound is pure Monster – rich, powerful audio that is super detailed and
accurate across all frequencies, so music sounds the way the original
artist intended it to be heard. Best of all, the design is as incredible
as the sound. The ultimate fashion statement, Diamond Tears are for
those who are BOLD, who want to stand out and be noticed. Their pillow
soft ear cushions let you listen for hours in total comfort, with
perfectly fitted noise-isolating earcups that keep the world out and
your music in. They also feature Monster’s ControlTalk Universal; with
an integrated high-grade microphone and answer button that lets users
their music and answer phone calls without having to reach into their
pocketbook, backpack or pocket. From admiring looks, to incredible music
reproduction, Diamond Tears will make a forever lasting impression.
VEKTR™: Expertly Blending the Worlds of Fashion and Great Sound.
VEKTR
on-ear headphones provide users with a comfortable, premium-quality
listening solution that expertly blends the worlds of fashion and great
sound. In addition to their dramatically enhanced audio performance,
they offer a strikingly different cosmetic, with a sharp faceted look
that’s completely unlike traditional round on-ear headphones. Featuring
a distinctive diamond-cut Diesel logo on each plush ear cup, VEKTR
headphones provide a unique sound experience: the combination of
enhanced audio performance and unique visual design engages the senses
and adds a new level of self-expression to the music listening
experience.
