San Francisco, CA, January 26, 2012 - Monster, world leader in the manufacturing of high-performance headphones, connectivity solutions and consumer electronics accessories, is putting "safety first" with its Monster Mobile® product line, a comprehensive range of advanced solutions for making the open road more hands-free, convenient and music-friendly.  Among Monster Mobile's most innovative new products is the unique iMotion™CarPlay™ Direct Connect 3000 (SRP: $99.95), which utilizes a breakthrough in-car hand motion control that also lets drivers maximize safety by simply waving their hands to control their iPod, iPhone or iPad. The visor-mounted AirTalk Bluetooth Car Kit (SRP: $69.95) also significantly increases driving safety by letting users enjoy exceptional audio for music and phone calls without ever taking their hands off the wheel.

 

Noted Head Monster Noel Lee: "Monster takes our 'safety first' approach to the mobile accessories category very seriously.  While high-performance in-car music, charging and mobile communications devices can make life on the road much more pleasant and productive, it's also vital that drivers concentrate on what is most important, namely, keeping themselves and their passengers safe and sound.  And with more states implementing or considering laws against cell phone dialing or texting while driving, we are especially proud of our unique products that make the open road more "hands-free."  All our Monster Mobile and Monster for Apple products offer value-added features, many with unique safety options, as well as benefits geared toward enhancing drivers' audio experiences with unprecedented high performance capabilities."

 

Monster is taking an ingenious route in tackling in-car safety for iPod, iPhone, and iPad users with its revolutionary new iMotion™ CarPlay™ Direct Connect 3000 in-car hand motion control charging device, which features an innovative in-car hand motion control connection that maximizes safety by allowing drivers to actually use simple hand gestures to control their iPod, iPhone or iPad. The hand gesturing function allows driver's access to functions including Play/Pause and track forward/backward. Monster's in-car charger powers up the iPod using a 30-pin dock connector while playing audio at the same time. The unit's heavy-duty 10-watt power output and 2.1 amps of current is ideal for power devices like iPad, and the 1m auxiliary-out mini-jack cord features a direct connection to a car's auxiliary input port for superior sound and a 24k Gold 3.5mm jack for easy connection.

The kit's premium sun visor clip ensures clear conversations at both ends of a call and out-of-the-way storage. With its rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery and more than 24 hours of talk time and 2 months of standby time, it's also the ideal solution for crystal clear speaker phone or conference calls.
