As we told you a little earlier, Monster was pretty serious with its new Clarity HD lineup, the company rolling out quite a few products in this new series. And after taking a look at the Clarity HD Bluetooth offerings and the iPod-docking audio system, it's time to check-out something a tad different, namely the Modular In-Ear Headphones.

The stylish new Monster Clarity HD In-Ear headphones are available in both black/red and chrome/red versions, with a high-quality finish and solid-metal construction. They have been designed for users who want to listen to high quality/uncompressed content from an iPod, iPhone or iPad, and, thanks to Monster’s advanced audio and design engineering, they are tuned to literally allow users to “hear everything” in their favorite music, from the “attack of the strings, horns and percussion instruments, to the emotion in the vocals, deep, powerful bass and crystal clear high frequencies.”

The new headphones incorporate 10 pairs of Monster’s acclaimed SuperTip eartips in the composite foam version, a sound-isolating listening solution first introduced with the company’s Turbine Pro In-Ear Speakers. The headphones also come with Monster’s new SuperHooks for active music lovers, which makes them a very good solution for joggers and other active users. SuperHooks attach easily and securely to the in-ear headphone, allowing for a custom fit and total wearer comfort over long periods.

It's also interesting to point out that the Monster Clarity HD In-Ear Headphones feature the company’s ControlTalk, an innovative control system that gives users playback control of their Apple iPad, iPhone and other music-enabled phones and allows them to take hands-free calls. It features an integrated high-grade microphone and answer button and allows users to access their music and answer phone calls without having to reach into their pocketbook, backpack or pocket.

The ControlTalk remote and mic are supported by iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (120GB), iPod touch (2nd generation), and iPhone 3GS and newer, but not all, BlackBerry models. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation). Audio is supported by all iPod models. Requires software version 1.0.3 for iPod nano (4th generation), 2.0.1 for iPod classic (120GB), and 2.2 or later for iPod touch (2nd generation).

Pricing for the Monster Clarity HD In-Ear Headphones is, naturally, pretty high, since we're talking about roughly $199.95. The estimated availability for these things is set at some point in September.
