Monster Headphones

High-quality headphones are a must for any music lover. Staples carries a selection of Monster headphones and other personal audio equipment for listening enjoyment. These devices come in a wide variety of shapes, styles and colors, each type providing a high-fidelity listening experience.

Choosing Monster Headphones for Everyday Use
Whether you enjoy working out to your favorite tunes or you like to power through your workday with music, Monster headphones deliver a solid audio experience. There are two main types of headphones: earbuds and over-the-ear designs. Earbuds sit right inside the outer part of your ear just over your ear canal, making them secure and convenient for use when exercising. They are small in size so you can carry them when you travel and they deliver impressive sound. Most earbuds are sound isolating, so you can tune out distractions.

Over-the-ear headphones sit on top of the ear and usually cover the entire outer ear. They have thick padding to keep them comfortable, and they are lightweight, adjustable and often deliver deeper bass than ear buds. The large size also makes them harder to misplace.

Considering the Options for Headphones
Headphones come in wired and wireless designs. Wired headphones connect to a device using a standard headphone plug. Select Apple products use a flash plug as a headphone jack. Some wired headphones have tangle-free wires that prevent the cords from becoming tangled when stored in your pocket or purse.

Wireless headphones connect to your media device using Bluetooth. This gives you freedom of movement so you can set your phone down while doing dishes or while exercising. Most earbuds come with several different tips to ensure a perfect fit. Another feature to look for is in-line controls, which let you adjust the volume, cycle through music and take calls directly from the headphones without having to access your device.

Are Wired Headphones Better Than Wireless Headphones?
Wired headphones and wireless headphones of the same specifications usually deliver the same sound quality. As long as you stay within the recommended Bluetooth range that comes with the wireless Monster headphones, you will experience the same type of quality as wired headphones.

How Do You Find the Best Fitting Earbuds?
The key to finding the perfect fit in earbuds is the size of the interchangeable tip. Start with the smallest size that comes with the device and move your way up. Push the headphone into the outer rim of your ear. If the earbuds fit well there should be a noticeable dip in ambient sound. When listening to music, you will experience more range, especially with the bass.

What Are the Best Headphones for Gaming?
Regular headphones are often higher quality than those that are marketed specifically for gaming. Try using quality on-the-ear headphones with a separate microphone instead of spending more money on an expensive pair of gaming headphones. Monster DNA headphones offer advanced noise cancellation properties and thick padded ear cushions for extended gaming sessions. You can also customize them with a variety of skins.
