Dr. Dre and Monster Announce New "Beats" High-End Headphones

by Joshua Fruhlinger on January 7, 2008 at 05:29 PM


Dr. Dre's Monster BeatsThe Monster Cable press session at the Consumer Electronics Showcase started out bizarre enough: head monster Noel Lee cruised up on his Segway scooter, talked to the audience about HDMI and cables and all things monster.

But then he asked Dr. Dre and Interscope Chairman Jimmy Iovine to come up, as they had a little surprise. They presented us with a set of new headphones called "Beats". These powered isolation (meaning they drown out outside noise) skull cans were designed according to Dre's notoriously stringent quality standards, and Monster is claiming unprecedented sound performance (we'll let you know more about that soon as we have an appointment for a hands-on with the Beats).

The headphones also look pretty nice, so we fully expect them to become street bling in no time. They are even iPhone compatible, a feature we assume will become a default feature for headphones and earphones this year.
