Malaysia Monster Product Launch 2012

The obsession with Monster earphones was one I never could understand. RM1XXX ++ for a pair of earphones? Like really??

Diamond Tears: Edge (RM1,600).

However, the Monster’s highly-anticipated 2012 collection line-up officially launch last week served to explain the worldwide fixation on these earphones/headphones. The launch last week saw the Inspiration, Diamond Tears and Diesel range revealed to the world/Malaysia and even I got all itchy hands to purchase one for myself!

The launch saw some really high energy performances as befitting of the Monster product range that was launched.

Part of the launch also saw some of the global marketing campaigns that Monster has executed so far. This was something I was personally interested in being a digital marketer myself. I noticed too that Monster have formed partnerships and collaborations with many funky and hip brands, even global entertainment companies and pop groups which in turn successfully sealed the brand’s standing as a cool, hip and trendy-setting manufacturer and designer of high-performance headphones.

Next was the fashion show that showcased how the Monster Inspiration, Diamond Tears and Diesel range expertly blends the worlds of fashion and great sound together!

Gorgeous models modelled (pun intended) even more gorgeous earpieces from Monster’s 2012 range. The whole vibe I got? How it has become fashionable to wear huge earphones with suits, dresses and even cocktail dresses!

Inspiration.

  • The headphone boasts a bold new design concept, allowing users to interchange their headbands —which are available in a bevy of colours and materials— to suit their style preferences for any day, mood or occasion.
  • Inspiration incorporates leading-edge noise cancelling and noise isolation technology. When noise cancellation function is being switched on, it blocks out the sound completely but when the noise cancellation function is not switched on, the noise isolation function also keeps out sound substantially.
  • The Monster Inspiration headphones will be available in Malaysia (in titanium or pearl white finish) by September 2012 and will be listed at RM 1600.

The one that really caught my attention that day? It’s the Diamond Tears! (RM1,600) .  “Edgy like diamonds, smooth like tears”.

Monster Beats-013

Beautiful isn’t it? The bling from the “diamonds” effect due to the prism of light reflection made it look very jewelry-like.

At different angles, different colours are reflected.

    The designs are somewhat exquisite. Really gotta test out the sound quality of the devices first before actually buying one. (I’m an audiophile)

    very stylish! i can’t quite fork out that amount of cash for these gadgets, but i can definitely see the appeal, very clear and very apparent!

    1. rebeccasaw

      Yes, the appeal that makes us fork out money! LOL. Thankfully both of us are rather appealed with good food versus gadgets! 😛

    I am an audiophile too and has ditched the stock ipod earphones for a Sennheiser in ear earphones since 2007.
    Beats’ RM1k++ for a pair of ear cans, that i really have to think quite a few times before plunge that money in. Haha… What song genres do you think are suitable for this earphones?

    1. rebeccasaw

      Hohohooho! Even u as a audiophile thinks twice before considering these Monsters models? Guess it much be really expensive then!
      Errm… hhmm the Earth Wind and Fire collaboration obviously seems more for the jazzy sort? As for the rest – i think it’s meant for all genres – cos if u limit to the genre, u hv less ppl buying them! hahaha!

    Thanks babe!

  5. David

    Its not cool anymore to own one….there’s so many fakes out there. I will still stick with my Sennheiser anytime 🙂

    1. rebeccasaw

      Yups David – that’s the comments I’m getting from my readers too – Sennheiser = pure audio and less of expensive branding!
