Monster Begins Selling Its First Sub-$100 Wired, Wireless Earbuds

Monster announced availability of its first line of sub-$100 headphones. The ClarityHD earbuds were designed as replacement models for the free earbuds that are bundled with smartphones and portable devices, Monster said Tuesday. The earbuds are available in wired ($49.95) and wireless ($89.95) versions. The wired ClarityHD’s flat cables are tangle-resistant, and attach to low-profile right-angle connectors designed to provide a secure fit in the ear, said Monster. The ClarityHD Bluetooth earbuds have a dual battery design to extend battery life, Monster said. The in-line mic was positioned at an angle suited for optimum voice pick-up, said the company.
