, Jan 7th 2009 Discuss [0]

SlashGear had the opportunity to sit down with rapper Ludacris and Monster Music owner Noel Lee at CES today, to discuss the artist’s new Theater of the Mind album which has been remixed in surround sound.  While Monster may be better known for their Cable hardware division, responsible for the Dr.Dre Beats and Beats tour headphones, the company also has an Superdisc audio arm putting out music DVDs in full surround sound.  Company founder Noel Lee is responsible for High Definition Surround, a set of recording, mixing and reproduction techniques to accurately recreate the sound field of an original performance in high definition for 5.1 surround sound.  Check out the full interview after the cut.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 50 2008

, Dec 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

With just a few weeks until CES 2009, we've been seeing hints of what tech will be showing its head at the biggest consumer electronics event of the year.  Unsurprisingly, netbooks are taking top billing, with MSI confirming three of them.  In fact the budget ultraportables are selling so well, they bested the ever-popular iPhone 3G in Summer sales.  Acer are sitting pretty in the top spot, with their latest model - a 3G-integrated Aspire One - launching this weekend.  Read The Full Story

Dr. Dre and Monster Cable have come up with a special edition white version of Beats by Dr. Dre. This pair however is going to cost you twice as much as the original at $700. We have been asking ourselves why in the world would they cost so much? Read The Full Story

Dr. Dre beats tour review

, Dec 10th 2008 Discuss [10]

Monster Cable’s headphone collaboration with Dr. Dre, the Beats, surprised us with their musical prowess back in August.  While celebrity endorsements tend toward the cheesy, and Monster’s products toward the over-priced, we weren’t expecting much; in actual fact, they proved impressively capable.  Now the pair is hoping to do the same for in-ear headphones, with the Beats Tour: can the follow-up muster the same success?

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 33 2008

, Aug 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

More laptops, netbooks and mobile workstations than you could shake the proverbial stick at this week, with fresh offerings (and more than a few rumors) from many of the big companies.  HP took the wraps off of three mobile workstations, complete with an amazing 17-inch DreamColor option, while Dell and Lenovo both had a version of their own.  Dell went for pure specs, with a maximum 16GB of RAM in their Precision, while Lenovo took a more offbeat view and added a digitizer panel in their W700′s palmrest.

A little more compact, Dell launched their fourth generation Latitude E-series models, and SlashGear was in San Francisco to bring you live images.  Dell’s attempt for the headlines included 19hr battery life (on one particular model) and Instant On functionality.  All well and good, but Gateway perhaps just eases ahead in the bargain stakes with their new P-7811FX Centrino 2 gaming notebook.

Beats by Dr. Dre & Monster Cable Review

, Aug 12th 2008 Discuss [1]

Celebrity endorsed products are big business but, while it may sound cynical, we tend to wonder whether the product would stand up on its own without the big name attached.  So when the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones came in, a collaboration with Monster Cable, you can assume we were very sceptical indeed.  The promise – “experience music the way the artist wants you to” – is backed up by powered amplification and active noise-cancelling, but are they any good?
