Monster Releases the DNA PRO Headphones
Monster, the world leader in high-performance personal audio, announced today that it has expanded its signature Monster DNA headphone line with the release of the new Monster DNA PRO. The newest addition to the DNA line features its distinctive triangular shaped ear cups and Monster's next generation sound Pure Monster Sound, and adds noise isolation technology. DNA PRO doesn't require batteries or recharging.
"Headphones are maturing, and so are listeners' tastes," said "Head Monster" Noel Lee. "It's no longer just about bass energy, but clarity, transparency, dynamic impact, and refinement in music reproduction."
Monster DNA PRO, exclusively available at Best Buy, is available in two core colors, "White Tuxedo" (white over black duo tone with chrome ear caps) and "Matte Black" (SRP: $299.95). DNA PRO joins the Monster DNA on-ear (SRP: $229.95) and in-ear versions (SRP: $129.95). The full line of Monster DNA headphones are available at fine retailers worldwide.
Sound: Pure Monster Sound Brings Superior Audio Quality
Designed by Head Monster Noel Lee, Pure Monster Sound uses Monster's latest proprietary technologies to offer the full experience of live music, with extreme clarity, tight articulation, and deep pounding bass that motivates you to achieve at your highest level of performance.
Share Your Music with Monster Music Share
Among the innovative capabilities of Monster DNA PRO headphones is Monster Music Share, which features dual-port inputs that allow up to five headphones to connect 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.
Design: The Shape of Things to Come, Featuring Pure Monster Sound
Monster DNA PRO over-ear headphones are a bold, clear and iconic expression of the shape of things to come. They feature the company's breakthrough Pure Monster Sound, specially tuned by Head Monster Noel Lee. 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.
New Fashion-Forward Design, Duo Tone Color Approach!
Designed with both the music and fashion consumer in mind, the Monster DNA PRO features a distinctive totally new, bold and striking triangular shape. DNA PRO features duo tone colors, with the inside color asserting itself just as prominently as the outer headband color. The inside color shows up on the upper side, and both colors are meaningful. Extensive design considerations in Monster DNA PRO 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.

Oh, sorry, the ES-HF300 are about $50 less expensive, I guess that disqualifies them... :banghead:
I used to own a pair of AKG K701, Beyerdynamic DT990 and a pair of modded FOSTEX T50RP, they were decent -but after trying out a pair of high quality speakers I vowed to never use headphones again, no matter the circumstance.

Manages to beat Shure 535 in rankings, I can assure you that Monster does make good IEMs. Just because most of the things Monster/Beats make are absolute garbage doesn't mean all of them are.
When I got them I have to say I was blown away. They were much better than I expected and other than being a tiny bit on the small side (snug fit) compared to other nicer cans I was pleasantly surprised. The overall sound quality was very good, much higher than my Sennheiser PC350 headset (which you would expect comparing to a headset). I still think they are a tad overpriced, $300 is a lot considering you can get some very nice Sennheiser HD cans for less, but all things considered I've really enjoyed my Beats.
I still don't know if I'd pay $300 for these, but don't knock them without having tried them. They aren't just a brand setup to fleece people with an inferior product. Monster may be overpriced, but one thing they do is take pride in producing high quality products. I have never owned a Monster product that hasn't been top notch (my Monster Power is a key part of my home theater setup).
Also, for what it's worth: I no longer work in sales, I'm a software developer and have been for the past three years. I look at Monster as a consumer now, not someone trying to sell their products.
