Monster is best known for high quality audio equipment and so it’s a name you can trust when it comes to audio. They’ve just released the Miles Davis Tribute high-performance in-ear headphones, which come in an individually numbered limited edition.

Aside from that, owners of these new headphones will get a special treat by being able to enjoy the official 50th Anniversary boxed set of the artist’s album Kind of Blue, free of charge. It includes a few music CDs, a DVD and a 24-page booklet. Some other features include a gold/brass finish inspired by Miles Davis’ trumpet.

Monster is a brand that says two things to me when I hear the name — sound quality and expensive. The company has unveiled a new set of headphones called the Monster Turbine Pro that promises professional level sound, but that promise comes at a steep price.

Monster is asking $299.95 for a set of the turbine Pro headphones alone and $329.95 for the headphones with the Monster ControlTalk headphone cable. For that much loot, you get a set of headphones that are tuned to offer the kind of reference quality professional musician’s demand.

The Monster Beats by Dr. Dre line has several different sets of headphones that are not cheap and are over ear headphones that are very large. Most people, especially the ladies, don’t really want huge headphones to listen to their music with.

Monster has announced its first Artist edition headphones in the Beats line with a set called Heartbeats by Lady Gaga. The headphones meet the strict audio quality requirements of Dr. Dre and monster while being made to a more refined design standard by Gaga.

Monster may be best known for its insanely expensive cable solution for home theater and car audio. The company also offers other expensive wares like headphones and power supplies for home theater.

Monster announced its latest addition to the Beats by Dr. Dre line called the Beats Solo headphones. The headphones will sell for $219.95 and are considered to be the entry-level headphones to the Beats line. Both black and white colors will be offered.

This new remote from Monster looks like a vintage Sci-Fi prop. The bad kind. You can almost hear the cheesy sound effects and bad soundtrack. Which is why I think this is awesome. The Monster MCC AV50 Home Theater Controller will be available next month for $50.

It’s a “tabletop universal remote control” with a “Web-based setup.” That means it’s super huge and has a simple onscreen setup.

I bet you have an old VCR lying around that you’ve been dying to dissect, but you just haven’t gotten to it yet. What are you waiting for? Do you not want another iPod Touch? Wait. Do you have marshmallows?

Or maybe it’s the thought of the little monster inside that has you scared. Just do it already. What’s the worst that could happen?

This guy is kinda cute, but at night I think he might scare you and whisper to you in your sleep, telling you to plug in gadgets so he can feed and grow, using the energy to spin a web and eventually encase you in a cocoon. It will take up to 6 USB gadgets and it’s seventh leg goes to your computer. I guess some guy who really likes bugs had some spare time on his hands. It’s made from fabric and wires and is a great scarecrow to keep your kids away from the computer.

My first question is how do you get in this thing without a step ladder? My second question is why. As to why, well, this is what happens when an aircraft engineer has a 1968 VW Beetle a lot of time.

Sure, you’ve got your Bigfoots and your Hummers, but there’s just something about seeing a VW Beetle this high off the ground that pleases us. It’s got a new 2.8 Liter engine, which should give it a nice power to weight ratio. It will turn heads so fast you’ll hear the collective cracking of neck bones.

Way back in January at CES 2008 we first heard of the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones from Monster. The headphones promised new technology that would bring sound quality to headphones that was not previously seen in consumer grade products. The catch was the price was right at $400.

Monster has announced that the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones will be available on July 25 and will be exclusive to the Apple store and Best Buy. The headphones are being aimed squarely at users of the iPhone and iPhone 3G as well as iPods.

Once you get hooked on your own custom playlists and listening to what you want when you want on your iPod or iPhone, going back to normal FM radio in your car is hard to do. You could carry tons of CDs and listen to what you want in the car too, but that is so 1994.

At CES this January Monster announced what it claimed to be the world’s most advanced iPod/iPhone wireless FM transmitter called the iCarPlay 250. Monster announced this week that it is finally shipping the iCarPlay 250 at $99.95. The device allows you to play your digital tracks from your iPod or iPhone over unused FM stations on your radio in the car or the home.

First off, sorry about the photo - that backside shot is the only one we could find. It belongs to the center speaker of a new series of speakers Monster announced today called the StreamLine 100. Prices vary between $300 and $600, depending upon which speaker component you need.

Monster designed the StreamLine 100 speakers to be integrated into a home theater. In this series you have a pair of towers, one center and a subwoofer. All offer interchangeable side panels with five color options, depending upon the colors lying around your room or your desire to be neurotic and change them every other day.

Monster unveiled during the Consumer Electronics Show what it is calling the most advanced wireless FM transmitter yet for the iPod. It is called the Monster iCarPlay 250 and Monster is pricing it at around $100.

The Monster iCarPlay 250 lets you enjoy your iPod audio through your car’s FM radio while at the same time charging your player. This particular FM transmitter offers some technologies to help do this in the most efficient way possible: autoscanning to lock in the clearest FM frequency, line-level audio signal output for “minimal distortion” and automatically adjustment of power output on individual frequencies for maximum signal strength.

There’s nothing real new technology-wise with this wireless bridge from Monster, but it definitely has the looks to get our attention. The wireless bridge is designed for use with an Apple iPod (what isn’t?) by connecting a transmitter to the base of the player. A 2.4GHz signal is then sent from the player attachment to the base station at a distance of no more than 30 feet.

The base station connects to your home theater and allows you to play your music from your iPod wirelessly on the couch, not unlike the one we saw from Denon last week, minus the remote. No price or launch date is available yet for the Moster wireless audio bridge but the looks alone will keep us watching for this wireless iPod accessory.
