The World's First Tangle-Free Cable
Sound has always been the most important to us, but we were determined to get rid of the annoying ritual of untangling the earbud bird's nest we all know and hate. After ten long years of passionate research, we finally found the solution. We flattened things out. The exclusive Tour ControlTalk flat cable design is so revolutionary, it's patent-pending and virtually eliminates the tangles and snarls that have plagued earbuds since they hit the market. With Tour ControlTalk, you'll spend less time untying knots, and more time enjoying your music. Youre welcome.
Hear What You've Been Missing
Get ready for a new listening experience. Monsters newly developed driver design features ultra-fast response time, which helps the Tour ControlTalk driver accurately reproduce the full sound and details of todays digital music with precise clarity, natural vocals, and a big bass punch.
Get Lower Than Low
Most in-ear headphones simply cut off the low end of your music because they simply can't reproduce low audio frequencies. It took well over three years to develop and fine- tune the technology that makes Tours ControlTalks' bass so big. You'll wonder how we got a subwoofer in your head. Dr. Dre would have it no other way.
In-Ear Noise Isolation
Tour ControlTalks' in-ear noise isolation cuts external noise for a better music experience and clearer call audio than traditional earbuds. Tour ControlTalks come with five pairs of earbud tips ensuring you get the most comfortable, secure seal, which works to block out unwanted, external noise. You'll hear your music and calls clearly, no matter how loud the rest of the world is.
Play it Loud With Full Power
Most earbuds dont have the power to play music at the volume music lovers, like us, prefer. Tour ControlTalks' large high- efficiency drivers and magnetic technology have been custom engineered to play loud without distortion, so you can hear every note. You'll experience levels of power and clarity that reveal the emotion in your music.

Important Monster® Performance and Safety Tips
Listen Responsibly
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.
Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.
Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.
Sound |
Noise Level |
Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Whisper | 30 | Very quiet |
| Quite Office | 50 - 60 | Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB |
| Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer |
70 | Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations |
| Food Blender | 85 - 90 | 85 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins |
| Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer |
100 | No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB |
| Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer |
110 | Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss |
| Rock Concerts (varies) | 110 - 140 | Threshold of pain begins around 125dB |
*Chart information obtained from www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/education/teachers/common_sounds.asp
"....a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume."
"....knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important."

Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it's unsafe to do so - while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.
It's dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car's horn and emergency vehicle sirens.
Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster's FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.
Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.
