LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Monster, the world leader in high-performance personal audio, and Viacom, home to the world's premier entertainment brands, will officially debut the new Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo headphones backstage at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards (airing live on Sunday, April 14th at 9 p.m./ 8 p.m. Central). Reflecting leadership in today’s fusion of entertainment, technology and fashion, Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo headphones were created by Monster as part of a global alliance with Viacom. The elegant new Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo headphones will be available on Tuesday, April 16th at Apple Store® and monsterproducts.com worldwide (MSRP: $229.95).
Monster DNA™ Features Pure Monster Sound™
Like all Monster headphones, Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo features the company’s breakthrough Pure Monster Sound™, specially tuned by Head Monster Noel Lee, the audio engineer behind the sound of Beats by Dr. Dre® headphones. Pure Monster Sound™ uses Monster’s latest proprietary technologies and sonic innovations to bring the full experience of live music to music lovers and concert goers everywhere. Articulate, tight, and ultimately revealing, it’s as close to live music as being on stage with the musicians.
Share Your Music with Monster® Music Link
Among the innovative capabilities of Monster DNA™ headphones is the Monster® Music Link, which features dual-port inputs that allow multiple users to connect their headphones at once and share their audio experience. Friends can enjoy all their music together in a brand new way, feeling every detail and beat, just as though they were in the studio or on stage with the musicians.
Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo: All Dressed Up for a Night on the Town!
A bold, clear and iconic expression of the shape of things to come, Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo headphones are ideal for a night on the town when you want to look your absolute best and enjoy phenomenal sounding music at the same time. They sport a unique Duo Tone color approach, with prominent White Tuxedo colors and striking black accents.
Designed with both the music and fashion consumer in mind, Monster DNA™ headphones features a distinctive “not-round, not-oval,” but totally new, bold and striking triangular shape. Extensive design considerations also include advanced, pillow-soft noise-isolating cushions that lock in sound so you can listen for hours and hours without distraction. The noise isolation keeps out extraneous noise and the total comfort prevents listening fatigue, which is great for hours-long listening sessions at the office, at home, or anywhere. Because Monster DNA™ is engineered for today's generation, where smartphone, communications and connectivity are as essential as their music, it features Monster's most advanced Control Talk™ feature, with an improved microphone and three-button controller, providing the best possible clarity for all calls.
Peter Griffin, EVP, Global Business Development – Viacom Media Networks, noted: “Viacom and Monster both have deep roots in music culture, and with Monster DNA™ White Tuxedo headphones we are providing fans with a new way to enjoy their music with great sound quality, while expressing their personal style. Both Viacom and Monster are committed to raising awareness for the importance of better sound, and we are pleased to provide Monster DNA™ with a global platform through our diverse entertainment brands, connecting with young audiences at the intersection of music and entertainment.”
Monster DNA™: Making a Positive Contribution
Both Monster and Viacom are companies that are committed to making a positive contribution to society and to the world. Music is a very powerful platform, and building on the message that “music matters,” Monster and Viacom will use the Monster DNA™ headphones to help advance important pro-social causes that resonate with young music fans. For instance, Monster is hosting a special backstage listening lounge where presenting and performing artists will be able to autograph special White Tuxedo Monster DNA™ headphones which will be auctioned off to support “Jewelry for a Cause,” a charity dedicated to helping take illegal guns off the streets.
