Comments about Monster® iCarPlay™ Wireless 800 FM Transmitter for iPod® and iPhone™:

I drive a Nissan with the antenna laminated to the rear window glass, above the defroster. Three years ago, I tried a similar, wired FM transmitter, with poor results. Since then, I've bought 3 wireless (portable) transmitters and had better, but still mixed results. The last one died on a road trip from worn contacts, and this unit was purchased on the fly. We chose it because it was the best available at the national retailer we shopped. My 22 year old daughter, who uses a wired transmitter in her own car successfully, couldn't get this unit to maintain a clear, static-free signal for more than a few minutes at a time. Even this required draping the wiring all over the car, just a certain way, different each time. After arriving home and clearing out the car from the trip, I sat in my driveway for about a half an hour, and could not get this unit to maintain clear transmission to my car's radio. Because of the otherwise high quality and ease of use of this unit, I will recommend it to those who have had good results with wired transmitters. As for me, when or after I return the iCarPlay 800, I will buy one of your iCarPlay 300 transmitters. I expect it to be more durable than the three portable transmitters I've had, two of which died of bad terminals, all in less than 3 years.

Comments about Monster® iCarPlay™ Wireless 800 FM Transmitter for iPod® and iPhone™:

I updated my Iphone 3GS to software version 4.0.2 which is the latest version and as soon as I plug in this monster FM transmitter it says that this product is not made for this type of Iphone. I have nothing good to say about this monster product. If you have software 4.0.2 on your Iphone, do yourself a favor and save your money.

A Monster shame

      Comments about Monster® iCarPlay™ Wireless 800 FM Transmitter for iPod® and iPhone™:

      Very low power transmitter. Unable to overcome FM band weak transmitters. In FM mode, the most powerfull signal easyly crush the weak one. So a lightly more powered signal from the 800 would sqash the unwanted broadcast frequency because it is closer to the car radio antenna. But this Monster is a microbe. Are all the Monster products shamming? Questionnable reputation... !

        Not sure what makes this product Wireless all it is is one big wire. Reception keeps cuting in and out, and is fuzzy. If you are always in the car this is not the right product. It is light weight and simple to use, but the buttons don't always cooperate, making it more of a hassle then anything. It does work but is alittle lacking in some areas I am returning mine tomorrow and finding something with better reception

         SAFETY TIPS

        Important Monster® Performance and Safety Tips
        Listen Responsibly

        To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.

        Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.

        Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.

        This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.
        SoundNoise Level (dB)Effect
        Whisper30Very quiet
        Quiet Office50-60Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB
        Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer70Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
        Food Blender85-9085 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
        Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer100No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB
        Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer110Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
        Rock Concerts (varies)110-140Threshold of pain begins around 125dB
        "....a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume."
        "....knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important."
        From http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html
        Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels.
        Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before.

        Use Responsibly

        Do not use headphones when it's unsafe to do so - while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.

        It's dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car's horn and emergency vehicle sirens.

        Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster's FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

        Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.
