Monster

Monster has been leading the way with innovation in Headphones, Speakers, HDMI Cables, and Power Solutions for nearly four decades. Head Monster Noel Lee, an entrepreneurial icon in the audio and music industries, has worked with some of the world’s finest musicians and professionals. He started Monster Cable & Monster Power 37 years ago in a San Francisco garage. 567 patents later, Noel has made milestones in design, comfort, and performance with successes like Beats by Dr. Dre. Monster has now moved beyond the status quo, trailblazing with even higher-performance headphones and speakers starring Pure Monster Sound®, which Noel personally designs and tunes himself. Why? Creativity, Innovation, and Because the Music Matters.Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory. Also an audiophile and professional drummer, Noel left his laboratory work in 1974 to perform with his band, Asian Wood. His passion for music was to become the essence of Noel’s professional life, shaping the destiny of Monster and informing the development of Monster Products today.

From when he first discovered the importance of speaker wires in creating quality speaker performance, Noel has been responsible for some of the biggest breakthroughs in audio performance. Some of these achievements including the world’s first computer speaker in 1985, launching Monster Power’s sophisticated line of power conditioning products and helped to launch Beats by Dre which revolutionised the high end headphone industry.

In 2012, Noel Lee received the Lifetime Achievement Award and nine innovative technologies awards at the prestigious Plus X Awards®, in recognition of a company dedicated to creating products that enhance the sound of quality music even further.
