A Message from The Head Monster,
Hello, I’m Noel Lee, Head Monster at Monster Cable
and creator of Turbine Pro™Professional In-Ear Speakers.™
Thank you for choosing Turbine Pros. As a passionate fan
of music and pursuer of audio perfection, designing Turbine
Pros was a quest to bring the sound that serious audiophiles
and professionals love into an ear bud that you can carry
with you. Hence, the name “In-Ear Speakers.” This is a product designed
for a select few crazed audiophiles who want to hear every detail.
No expense is spared in the production and development
of these headphones.
The Highest End Audio, No Matter Where You Are
I listen to music more on the go with my iPod®than I do sitting at home listening
to my high-end audio system. I’m sure that with your busy schedule, you have
the same limitations. But I won’t listen to music unless I can hear it the right way,
just as the recording engineers, producers, and artists intended. I would not ruin
a good experience listening to a compromised system.
For many of you professional engineers, artists and producers, I’m sure it’s the same
way for you. You’re tethered to your studio at home, and don’t have a portable speaker
good enough for you to hear what you hear in the studio while out on the road.

Turbine Pro changes all of that. I believe that you’ll find the sound of Turbine Pro
as accurate and satisfying as any high end system you’ve ever heard, or any studio
monitor available out there. I also venture to say that you will hear nuances and fine
details in the music that you have not heard before, on any system.
A Game Changer
Better sound means a closer connection to the music and the artist that created it.
We hope that Turbine Pros will change the way you enjoy music. I’m sure it will
improve the quality of the time you spend listening to music while on the go,
and make it every bit as satisfying as the experience you get in your listening
room with some of the finest speaker systems in the world.
The SuperTip™Eartip
When pursuing audio perfection, no detail can be overlooked. As an audiophile
or audio professional, you know the importance of sound isolation. For an in-ear
headphone, that job lays squarely on the eartip. We’ve received many compliments
for the eartips we’ve already designed. But we’ve surpassed them with an incredible
new device that provides studio quiet isolation, even in noisy environments. They’re
called SuperTips, and they’re completely exclusive to Monster. You’ll find nothing
else like them anywhere, in design or performance. All the fine nuances and inner
detail that Turbine Pros are capable of producing are captured faithfully with these
exclusive eartips.

The Unheard of Lifetime Guarantee
I’m offering a very special guarantee on Turbine Pro because like you, as a frequent
traveler I’m a heavy-duty user of headphones. And like anyone, I would dread having
to replace a $300 pair of headphones. So we’ve taken that concern out of the equation.
On top of a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty, we’re offering a one-time replacement
of your Turbine Pros, even if YOU break them.
The Monster Design Team
I want to acknowledge the entire Turbine Pro design team. This team has discovered
new technology, manufacturing techniques, and new measurements and design tools
that allow us to do what we do in creating what we believe are the world’s finest
headphones. They are a passionate group of dedicated individuals.
We hope that you will enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed creating them.

IMPORTANT Monster®Performance and Safety Tips
Listen Responsibly
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player
is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing
headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you
reach a comfortable listening level.
Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise
at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.
Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time.
The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is,
the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* on the following page.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how
they rank in potential harm to hearing.

Whisper 30 Very quiet
Quiet Office 50-60 Comfortable hearing levels

“…a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume.”
“…knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important.”
From http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html
Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels.
Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before.

Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing
streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your
surroundings is required.
It ‘s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because
it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such
as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens.
Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters
to listen to your mobile media devices instead.
Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines
from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research
Foundation at www.drf.org.

Eartip Selection: Vital to Sound
Quality and Comfort
The tips on the ends of your Turbine Pro In-Ear Speakers™
make the difference between good sound and great sound.
With the right fit, you’ll get better isolation from unwanted
outside noise, increased bass response, better tonal
balance and the headphones will stay in your ears better. Of course, the right fit will also
feel more comfortable. Because everyone's ears are unique, Monster supplies several
sizes and designs of eartips. Getting the perfect fit with the correct tip is a matter of
experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your Turbine Pro In-Ear Speakers
to find the best fit for the size and shape of your ear canal.
Monster recommends that you try the smallest tip first and work upwards in size until
you find a comfortable fit that has a good seal and also stays in your ears without falling
out. Also try different style tips to see which works best for you.
Revolver Eartip Case
Because Turbine Pros come included with multiple sizes and shapes of eartips, we have
also supplied a unique Revolver Eartip Case to store un-used tips. This will reduce clutter
and keep eartips from getting lost. To use, simply press the eartips into the storage
compartments to insert and press on the back to remove.

Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips
IMPORTANT: Left and Right in-ear speakers: There are
Red and Blue colored bands and “L” and “R” markings
on each earpiece.
“L” with the Blue band is for the left ear.
“R” with the Red band is for the right ear.
1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips
for easier insertion.
2. Using your right hand, grasp the right in-ear speaker.
3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right in-ear
speaker to straighten your ear canal.
4. Carefully insert your right in-ear speaker so that it seals
completely and comfortably in your ear. DO NOT insert
the speaker so deeply that your ear canal feels
completely “plugged.”
5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.
6. When you’ve finished your listening session, remove your in-ear speakers slowly
with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.
