IT'S December! And to spice up this happy festive season, Monster is introducing five headphones targeted at different market segments.

With TRON: Legacy hitting the big screen this month, geeks might want to buy the futuristic-looking Monster TRON Edition headphones ($699, picture). It features full-frequency, 7.1-channel surround sound to meet your gaming and home theatre needs. Get it fast as stocks are limited.

Ladies might want to check out the Monster Butterfly headphones, a creation borne out of Monster's collaboration with fashion designer Vivienne Tam. The Butterfly high-performance in-ear headphones ($399) sports elegant curves, a golden brushed finish and colourful butterfly images on the earpieces.

Monster has also launched three products from Beats by Dr Dre. The Beats Pro ($820) is a pair of studio-quality headphones that delivers the power, durability and sound isolation craved by audio professionals.

For the rest of us, we should be happy with iBeats ($210). It is engineered to reproduce high-quality audio from portable devices such as the Apple iPad and iPhone, with its sealed in-ear design that reduces external noise. If you are a fan of Justin Bieber, get the limited-edition JustBeats, available in on-ear ($490) and in-ear ($210) versions.

iBeats is out in stores. The other four headphones will be available this month. Trevor Tan
