iPod/iPhone Compatibility: The ControlTalk remote and mic are supported only by
the iPod nano (4th/5th/6th gen), iPod classic (80/120/160GB), iPod touch
(2nd/3rd/4th gen), iPhone (2G/3G/3GS/4), and iPad. The remote is also supported by the
iPod shuffle (3rd/4th gen). Audio is supported by all iPod/iPhone models. The
ControlTalk function requires the latest iPod/iPhone software version.
Eartip Selection: The variety of eartips that come with the Powerbeats
make the difference between good sound and great sound. With the right fit, you
get increased bass response, better tonal balance, and the earphones will be
more comfortable. Because everyone's ears are unique, Monster supplies several
sizes (Small/Medium/Large) of eartips.
Note: Unlike many in-ear headphones, Powerbeats are not designed
to completely seal out external noise. With the Powerbeats, you will be able
to hear the outside world while running and biking in or alongside traffic.
Integrated Ear Hooks: The Monster Powerbeats feature integrated ear
hooks to help keep the in-ear headphones in your ears more firmly during
activity. These adjustable/bendable ear hooks with flexible-arms wrap around the
outside of your ear to keep the headphones in place while you're working out or
playing sports.
Advanced Monster Cable: The Monster Powerbeats in-ear headphones
utilize advanced Monster Cable with patented technologies for accurate and clear
audio. The Powerbeats in-ear headphones also offer rugged strain relief to
protect the headphone cable from heavy-duty use. The Monster Powerbeats feature
an attached 40" headphone cable and come with a 39" headphone extension cable.
3.5mm Connector:: The Monster Powerbeats feature a 24K
gold-plated 3.5mm connector for maximum signal transfer and corrosion
resistance.
Cable Management: The Monster Powerbeats in-ear headphones
include a cable management clip and cable slider.
- Cable Management Clip: Attach the cable management clip
to clothing to keep the headphone cable under control and out of your way,
as well as reduce accidental pulling of the earbuds from your ears.
- Cable Slider: Use the cable slider to control cable
swap while listening. Also slide up to reduce tangles during storage.
Storage Case: The Monster Powerbeats in-ear headphones come
with a compact, protective, carrying case to store the headphones when not in
use.
