http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/340x_butterfly-monster.jpgI can see Monster scratching their (many) heads in the board room, wondering how to appeal to women after too many Dr Dre headphones (http://gizmodo.com/5033864/lightning-review-dr-dre-and-monster-headphones-vs-a-jackhammer). "I know!" (shouted Noel Lee (http://gizmodo.com/322583/monster-cable-founder-noel-lee-explains-how-he-got-started)), "butterflies! They all like butterflies!" I must have a penis then.
They've actually teamed up with the fashion designer Vivienne Tam (http://gizmodo.com/tag/viviennetam/), who's busy lending her name to any tech company (http://gizmodo.com/5047737/hp-vivienne-tam-special-edition-laptop-gets-fashionable-debut-on-nyc-catwalk) that'll have it. The Butterfly headphones have a "light gold-brushed finish" and "colorful butterfly images on the earpieces." They come with a matching carry case, which might go some way to explaining how they can charge $199.95 for them—50 bucks more than the similar Dr Dre ones (http://gizmodo.com/5101525/dr-dre-and-monster-put-150-in-your-ear-with-beats-tour-headphones).
