Monster Cable Is Going High Fashion…

By Edward Jackson (Senior Editor)

Vivienne Tam has been no stranger to technology she has came out with her outstanding designs for Mp3 player, Clutch bag HP Mini and a Wireless mouse. Now she just released these striking in-ear headphones…

Monster has been positioning itself as a top-flight supplier of high-profile, celebrity-associated headphones, first lining up with Dr. Dre. When Dr. Dre released his ‘Monster Beats’ headphones last year, despite being a celebrity tie-in and being very expensive they had a certain legitimacy due to his producer status and they really did pack a punch, especially in the low end. And more recently tooling around with the likes of Miles Davis and Lady Gaga. She stated “The Heartbeats are so trendy they don’t even need to list the specifications on the website, they just boast they’ve got flat cables and are a great alternative to earrings.” (Hmmm…) Now the company is launching itself into the fashion world with new Butterfly in-ear headphones designed in conjunction with fashion designer Vivienne Tam. The patent-pending headphones tie in with the theme of Tam’s Spring 2010 fashion collection, sporting a light gold-brushed finish and butterfly images on the earpieces and cable slider.

Monster’s new “Butterfly” premium headphones sport a design that matches Vivienne Tam’s Spring 2010 fashion collection…and carry a price tag to match $199.95ea. from Monster.com
