Portable Music Lovers Will Go Gaga over Monster's Heartbeats by Lady Gaga Headphones

By Chris Chiarella

Music and fashion icon Lady Gaga goes where only Dr. Dre has gone before, with her branded Heartbeats by Lady Gaga high-performance headphones, manfactured and sold by Monster. Every aspect of these stylish new 'phones was developed with the involvement of the singer/songwriter, engineered like the wildly popular Beats by Dr. Dre line to reproduce music more like the artists' originally intended.

Lady Gaga sums up her thoughts on the matter thusly: "In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things; I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion. Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human-being, with one additional vow: that SOUND matters. Wear heartbeats, love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music."

Fair enough.

Monster reveals the new Heartbeats, with a special message from Lady Gaga herself.

The Beats by Dr. Dre team refined and adapted the style of the headphones to reflect Lady Gaga herself, resulting in an audio accessory that could also be considered a piece of jewelry. Manufactured from high-tech materials, the Heartbeats have a multi-faceted, glossy surface with a gem-like earpiece esthetic. They will be available in three different versions, including a metal body with rose red jewel-shaped earpiece, metal body with all chrome earpiece, and black-on-black body and earpiece design. The headphones feature Monster's flat, tangle-free cable with ControlTalk microphone and remote, which works with select iPhones, iPods and Blackberry devices. The different iterations of the product will all hit in October, priced from $99.95 to $149.95.
