Features
Overview: The Monster Beats "by Dr. Dre" Tour High
Resolution In-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk feature large, high-efficiency,
wide-bandwidth drivers that play loud without distortion and provide accurate,
full detail of your music. With the built-in ControlTalk remote on the Beats
Tour ControlTalk headphone cable, you get on-cable control of your music, as
well as easy, high quality hands-free calling. You can enjoy quick-access music
playback control, like volume, play/pause and tracking, without having to dig
for your iPod. Plus, the high-grade mic and high-resolution, sound-isolating
headphones all combine to let you hear and be heard much more clearly and
conveniently than you ever could with your cell-phone to your ear. The Beats use a
patent pending tangle-free cable design which resists knotting up. The Monster
Beats Tour with ControlTalk come supplied with sound isolating ear-tips in multiple sizes to provide a
perfect fit and to seal out external noise. A carrying case is also included.
ControlTalk: The Monster ControlTalk device is a small remote + mic
attached to the cable of Monster Headphones. ControlTalk is designed to give you

mic. ControlTalk offers the following functions.
- Music: Play/Pause, Skip/Previous Track, Volume Up/Down
- Phone: Answer/End Call, Decline Call, Call-Waiting, Volume
Up/Down
