A Message from The Head Monster
Monster
®
was founded on the love of music. Thirty years ago,
in a garage in San Francisco, the original Monster Cable
®
was developed with the goal of improving music reproduction.
It was a passion. Today, millions of audiophiles, musicians
and music lovers worldwide use Monster Cable with their audio
systems, recording studios and musical instruments.
Back in the early days of home audio, we would listen to music on huge
speakers that cost thousands of dollars and filled the entire room. Our goal was to hear
exactly what the musicians heard, to feel all the emotion of the music performance...all for
the love of music.
But today it’s a digital audio world with portable players that let us take our music with us.
As good as digital music has become, many feel that we have lost a lot of the real music
experience. While many audio enthusiasts complain that MP3 and other compressed audio
formats can’t match the sound of a CD or DVD Audio, the real loss is in the quality of the
speakers. After all, we have AIFF and lossless audio formats available to us, but you can’t hear
the difference through today’s headphones. Although there are some very good headphones
today, they don’t match the sonic experience we get from a great pair of full size speakers.
Hence, Monster Turbine
®
In-Ear Speakers
™
were born. They are a labor of love, coming
from my own need to have great sound when I’m traveling. Our goal was to let you
experience the sound quality and power of full size speakers from your portable music
player. That’s why we call Turbines “In-Ear Speakers,” not headphones. The word
“headphones” just doesn’t convey the sound you are about to hear.
My design goal was to combine the detail and speed of the finest electrostatic speakers
with the deep bass of a good subwoofer into a device small enough that you can fit in your
ear. I believe we were successful. Through the miracle of new technologies in driver
design, acoustic chambers, sound isolation, and of course, Monster Cable, we were able
to achieve what only large speakers could do in the past.
Turbines deliver accuracy and detail so incredible, you’ll hear the musician’s fingers
plucking the strings of their acoustic guitars, feel the bite of a great brass section and the
raw power of electric guitars. Turbines also accurately reproduce the deep bass of today’s
hip hop music as well as the low end of a 32 foot pipe organ. The complaint that
headphones can’t reproduce deep bass just isn’t valid anymore. The argument that truly
great headphones need to be electrostatic, use separate power supplies and amplifiers,
and cost thousands of dollars, is now gone.
Best of all, we bring this experience to you at a price that everyone can afford. We invite you
to compare Turbine In-Ear Speakers with other headphones that cost many times more.
A few extras that I demanded when I’m traveling: a great carrying case that looks and feels
great, and cables that don’t tangle. These features alone are worth the price of Turbines.
I invite you to listen to your favorite music with Turbine In-Ear Speakers, and hear
what you’ve been missing. Monster Turbines will take you to a space where you can
get away from the rat race and challenges of today’s world, to a place where only the
music matters, and its emotion fills your soul.
When that happens, the audio fanatics here at Monster will have fulfilled our design
goals...for the love of music.
Enjoy.
Monsterously,
Noel Lee,
