Butterfly

Monster this week introduced its new "Butterfly™" high-performance in-ear headphones created in conjunction with fashion designer Vivienne Tam.

The new Butterfly headphones feature a curved design, light gold-brushed finish and colorful butterfly images on the earpieces, much like the "Butterfly Lovers" theme of Ms. Tam's Spring 2010 fashion collection. They also have multiple eartips for a comfortable fit, a built-in ControlTalk remote for controlling volume, playing/pausing music and moving between tracks. The headphones also sport Monster's cable management system.

Head Monster Noel Lee noted: "Monster's goal is to enhance the entire music listening experience with a higher quality of music reproduction than has ever been achieved in an in-ear headphone. With 'Butterfly,' we're enhancing the experience even further by combining high fidelity with high fashion. Vivienne Tam's elegant new "Butterfly Lovers" collection is clearly inspired by music, which makes this headphone project a perfect fit."

Monster's Butterfly in-ear headphones have an MSRP of $199.95 and come with a carry case that reflects the Butterfly theme.
