Interview with Noel Lee, "Head Monster" of Monster Products - Head-Fi TV - Page 5

Indeed... We ought to make a head fi fashion shoot with our nice cans for lulz. Show monster r sexy Byers can look good n sound great lol

It worked out reasonably well for V-Moda.  The M-80 and M-100 are well-received here, NOT because of the way they look, but because they don't sound like schiit (and I don't mean amps/dacs). 

Interesting read about monster and dre split.

 

I dont actually dislike Monster, and i guess seeing their side of the story is not that bad after all.

I wonder however if they will try to get some non-exploited price range and use it effectivly.

I find it hard to get into a market so well covered from all angles already.

Just a nonentity video, and I mean that with the upmost respect to Jude. I got the feeling he was humoring Jude/us for the majority of the video. I just got absolutely nothing from that and so found myself clicking through it wishing to get to 11.45 to see if indeed he was perturbed by Jude's suggestion of a comparison. I must obviously be biased against Monster (though unknowing till now). I have listened to the Inspiration and of course beats, and I can honestly say, I have absolutely no interest in what Monster have to bring to the table in the future. I may be being a tad skeptic but I cannot see past the thought that Monster do little more than mass produce gear suited more to build their bank balance as appose to breaking new audiophile grounds. Just like most large corps, drip feed the technology, spend more on marketing and reap the profits. Just my opinion.

I just can't take Noel seriously.

Diamond tears look so cheap and even though the inspiration like look much better it does not sell very well.

so beats are done?

Beats still continue but under HTC's control.

Which means they're just getting started expanding their market...

maybe they will finally make a decent product XD

Hopefully this time monster will be really competitive, for such a big name company its such a shame that their expensive ($200 - $300) products can't even keep up with the sound quality of a $35 HD330 from superlux or the build and sound quality of a $50 Pro80 from Takstar. Maybe if they priced their products just a bit lower like $80 - $150 range they would be a little bit considerable. :) Hopefully this is not just a wish, I'd love to see monster put up a fight and change their ugly image to budget audiophiles like me, maybe they could follow the path of urbanears and skull candy (I must admit they're pretty decent now for the price) Cheers!

I feel that monster's products are already better than beats, though it is still really overpriced, but i would get a monster over a beats if i was stuck to a world of these 2.

yeah my $50 modded JVC HA-S500 sound much better than my friends $150 Monster Ncredible Ntune
