Like
the "Miles Davis Tribute"
high-performance in-ear headphones the Miles
Davis Trumpet headphones were created in conjunction with
Miles Davis Properties, LLC and are available now (MSRP: $329). They are being offered in
a specially packaged set along with the seminal Miles Davis album "Sketches of
Spain" in a specially remixed and
remastered version in Monster High Definition Stereo (HDS) and High Definition
Surround Sound, specially engineered to capture the
music's true harmonic depth and resonant tonal characteristics.
Reference-Quality
Audio Performance
Miles Davis Trumpet headphones feature a
uniquely jazz-inspired style, with aesthetic cues taken from Miles' trumpet
itself, including mouthpiece shaped earpieces and a striking gold/chrome finish,
with a Miles Davis silhouette and etched signature on the cord. Designed in every way to be as revolutionary as the iconic
musician, Miles Davis Trumpet headphones are precision-tuned to reproduce the
subtle nuances and unique acoustic tones of jazz. Their reference-quality audio
is made possible thanks to key Monster innovations, including a new design that
allows the earpiece to rest more comfortably and deeper within the wearer's ear
canal, enabling a perfect fit, superior isolation and ultimate performance, so
all music can be heard with exceptional clarity and presence.
Miles
Davis Trumpet headphones are made available with the Monster ControlTalk™
headphone cable*, which can be used with iPhone® and iPod®
for music playback control as well as to take hands-free calls with iPhone and
many smartphones. The specially created Miles Davis Trumpet ControlTalk on-cable
box, customized to resemble the three piston valves of a trumpet, features an
integrated high-grade microphone and answer button and allows users to access
their music and answer phone calls without having to reach into their
pocketbook, backpack or pocket.
In
addition, Miles Davis Trumpet headphones come with Monster's new high
performance "SuperTip™" eartips that offer superior noise isolation.
The key to the effectiveness of SuperTip eartips is a patent-pending engineered
material that provides a secure custom seal to help eliminate unwanted
noise.
The
end result is astoundingly clean, tight audio response and great-sounding music that
can be listened to without fatigue for hours and hours.
