Monster and Nokia: Connected by Music

The Nokia Purity™ Pro Wireless Stereo Headset by Monster^® is the first high-performance wireless headset designed to match today’s mobile phone experience with unprecedented audio performance, fashionable styling and today’s most innovative user-friendly features.

And only collaboration between Nokia, the world's top mobile brand, and Monster, the world leader in headset design and the company that engineered the sound of the popular Beats by Dr. Dre^® headphones, could create a wireless mobile experience this amazing.

Head Monster, Noel Lee noted, “Smartphones are extensively used for music consumption. Monster’s expertise in audio technologies endeavors to maximize the impact of music for consumers worldwide. With our Purity™ Pro, users can now enjoy unprecedented audio performance and advanced capabilities, with all the added benefits of a pure and seamless wireless connection.”
