Monster Unveils New Earth, Wind, And Fire In-Ear Headphones

Monster, the same company behind the Beats by Dr Dre, Lady Gaga and the Butterfly by Vivienne Tam headphones and in-ear headphones have now unveiled their latest offering which they called the Earth, Wind & Fire Gratitude in-ear headphones. For those who don’t know Earth, Wind & Fire, they’re an American R&B and funk band that got famous in 1971 and produced classic songs such as “September”.

Much like how each Monster series was designed to enhance a particular quality of music within that genre, for example in Beats by Dr Dre they emphasized on the bass that was a prominent feature in hip-hop and rap, and with Vivienne Tam they designed the headphones to enhance the sound of wind instruments. For the Earth, Wind & Fire Gratitude headphones, Monster has engineered the headphones and tuned it in such a way that would be reproduce the harmonics of a live performance, performances that Earth, Wind & Fire are known for.

The headphones were also designed to rest more comfortably and deeper within your ear which sort of acts as sound isolation, think of it as a private performance of sorts. According to the band themselves the headphones will retail for a whopping $229 although the price has yet to be announced by Monster themselves. If you’re a fan of the iconic band then perhaps these headphones may be what you’re looking for but for the rest out there, we’re sure that for $229 you could get yourself something better.

I'm sayin! I love EW&F but I wouldn't spend that much money for a pair of headphones!

What's the difference between these and the Miles Davis headphones? The logo?

Maybe you'd like one of these. It costs $20,000, and that's without the tone arm & cartridge.

I'm not trying to sound like a hater but is EVERYBODY coming out with a line of headphones? And they all claim to make the music sound better and I can't get with that. If you create the music to sound good in the first place then you wouldn't need some expensive headphones! Just my two cents. If I'm wrong, tell me.

Ur right...I don't know why anyone would buy these and verdine white really needs to let the long hair go! For that matter, phillip bailey just needs to cut his off

You so bad.

Here's an interesting concept.

Design a set of headphones that accurately recreates the music as it was recorded, regardless of the genre.
