reproduction with crystal clear talk and speakerphone capabilities with the

Micro speaker/speakerphone reflects Monster's commitment to creating products
that meet the needs of today's music loving consumer, with the most powerful
and simplest solutions for enjoying better quality audio in every aspect of
their lives. The ClarityHD™ Micro will also allow
users to express their personal style.
Initially, it will be available in black with black grilles and white

Perfect for Today's
"Multi-tasking" Music Lovers Who Don't Want to Miss a Beat!
Monster engineered the sleek and compact ClarityHD™
Micro to provide today's "multi-tasking"
music lover with a high-quality audio solution for great sounding music, with
the option of switching seamlessly to a conference or personal call - without
ever missing a beat! The high-performance ClarityHD™
Micro lets you jump onto crisp sounding conference calls
anytime and anywhere, even while commuting to work.
Notably, a special Voice Command and
Control function lets users make and answer calls, play music, perform
Bluetooth pairing and many other functions via simple voice commands. Another innovative and fun lifestyle benefit lets
users change
their ClarityHD™ Micro's voice anytime they want,
selecting from multiple voices available on the Monster website for download. Best of all, the ClarityHD™
Micro is small enough to
carry to the office, take on vacations or business trips, or just go along with
you whenever you want great sounding music and hands-free
calling at your fingertips! The included wrist strap makes carrying
the ClarityHD™ Micro a
snap.
The Monster ClarityHD™
Micro significantly
enhances the quality of music playback, as well as the on-the-go capabilities
of Smartphones and other devices. The
ultra-compact listening solution delivers crystal clear audio, made possible
through the inclusion of advanced AAC and apt-X digital processing for clean,
best-in-class wireless stereo sound and crystal clear phone calls. For total user flexibility, it may also be used with a
wired connection using a standard 3.5 mm headphone port, which is ideal for
products that do not have Bluetooth support. For an even more robust stereo experience, you
can even use two ClarityHD™
Micros together. The precision omnidirectional
microphone is ideal for instant conference calls, voice/video chats on Skype® or hands-free calls on a mobile phone. The advanced Lithium
Ion batteries provide up to 5 hours of quality listening on a single charge.
Notably, with a range of up to 30 feet, the speaker delivers powerful,
room-filling sound that belies its small size.
Head Monster Noel Lee noted:
"Monster believes that everyone who loves music deserves to enjoy true high
fidelity audio in every aspect of their lives.
At the same time, we're committed to creating products that meet or
exceed peoples' needs and expectations in today's fast-paced digital world. That's
why we engineered the new ClarityHD™
Micro with the most advanced digital
processing and efficient, high-performance loudspeaker componentry, plus all
the features and capabilities that will allow people to maximize the benefits
of their Smartphones and other digital devices. The result is a new type of
listening and phone solution that will bring 'higher definition' listening into
people's lives!"
