Monster has partnered with a new company to produce the next additions to its DNA line of headphones and speakers. These are its first products.
Monster, the company that initially rose to prominence through its marketing of premium audio and video cables, then as the design and manufacturing force behind the launch of the hugely popular Beats by Dre line of headphones, is back at CES 2022 with a quartet of new products. First, there are two new true wireless earbuds, the $179 Monster DNA Fit and $149 Monster DNA Pro, plus two new Bluetooth speakers, the $179 Monster DNA One and $199 Monster DNA Max.
They come in a fabric-wrapped, Qi-compatible wirelessly charging case, and have a very impressive nine hours of playing time per charge and a total of 24 hours when you include the case’s capacity. The earbuds come with a huge assortment of 12 sizes of silicone eartips, which should help most people get a secure and comfy fit.
If the Monster DNA Fit are Monster’s answer to the Powerbeats Pro, then the DNA Pro is the company’s response to Apple’s AirPods Pro. They’re an ANC set of wireless earbuds with six hours of battery life , and they have an IPX5 rating for water resistance. Monster hasn’t released much more in the way of details, but we do know that the DNA Pro support wireless charging.
