Monster Products - leading the Trend In Headphone Technology #BeInYourElement @MonsterProducts #NYFW 3

Monster Products has a rich history of technology under Founder/Inventor Noel Lee a musician who toured in a band as the drummer of Asian Wood in 1978. Lee wanted to make his band sound better on the road, with a passion for engineering and audio sound started tinkering in his garage that led to the invention of the Audiophile Speaker Cable in 1979. A new product for audio equipment was born instead of using a zip cord (electrical household lamp wire); thus revolutionized the audio sound market. Monster was also the first one to create a celebrity endorsed Tech products when Monster partnered with rap artist Dr. Dre and Interscope Records in 2007 to design and manufacture the Beats Electronics line of headphones called “Beats by Dr. Dre“.

Monster Products – founder/inventor Noel Lee

Noel Lee is still passionate about sound and very much involved with the design and tuning of all Monster products. Monster continues to live in the grip of new innovation with CES 2016 naming Monster 24K Bluetooth Over Ear Headphones as the product included in 14 of the most promising new headphones; considered a huge acclamation since there are hundreds of headphones on the market.

My favorite of the latest Monster headphones is the Monster Elements Wireless Over Ear Headphones that just debuted in S/S NY Fashion Week 17 considered one of the most popular tech accessories showed in presentations and runways with 6 different trend setting designers. While Element headphones in rose or gold with a sleek/modern design speaks to the fashion side they also have a serious Tech side – transmitting wireless audio Active Echo Suppression in CD quality sound over Bluetooth with a Micro-USB port on the ear cup used for devices that only have a digital connection, easy to adjust volume/control music by swiping finger across touch panel and Monster sound.

Monster continues to be tireless in innovating audio products, known as the world’s leading manufacturer of high performance cables that connect audio/video components for home, speakers and headphones selling over 5000 products in 160 countries. Can’t wait to see what Monster has in store for 2017.

Travel – Windstar Hans Birkholz, president and CEO who believes “Culinary traditions are the best way to experience a new destination” visited The James Beard House to partner with The James Beard Foundation in putting together three Windstar 2016 culinary themed cruises using local ingredients shopped in port destinations, prepared and cooked by the James Beard Award Winning Chef’s on board for a destination dining experience with local wines paired from the regions of ports visited along and two local market tours and two complimentary culinary shore excursions included. Wind Surf 310-guest flagship yacht sailing from Southern Spain & Morocco and Lisbon to Barcelona with Chef Michel Nischan (founder and CEO of Wholesome Wave and Star Legend a 212-guest yacht sailing from Lisbon to Dublin with Chef Maria Hines (owner and executive chef of Seattle Tilth. I picked the Star Legend Yacht’s Windstar Best Of Europe’s Portugal, Spain & France James Beard Culinary Cruise itinerary since Spain was on my bucket list and the yacht just went through an $8.5 million stem-to-stern transformation a year ago.

windstar-library windstar-cabin

Landing in Lisbon Portugal a very old city that is understated and priced to explore; a city that charmingly reminds me of how NYC use to be; raw and affordable with an artistic character was a wonderful first impression of my trip. Arriving at the Dock I was both surprised and glad that the Star Legend was conveniently in port of call in the center of the city. The advantage of Windstar cruising is that since their fleet of yachts are small enough to dock in the cities visited you can simply walk from the ship right into the city for a tour and/or if you want to take advantage of the night life it’s right in your neighborhood across the street, sometimes same block and that is freedom.

the excursions I went on were of fairy tales touring a neighborhood feel in Porto Portugal and Ferrol Galicia Spain a city built on hills, taking walks on picturesque village roads to the Trabanco Cider Apple factory in Gijon Spain, touring the walled city of St Malo Northern France, vising an oyster farm along with tasting and market in the Port of Cancale – oyster capital in Brittany France. Château Kirwan Vineyard for a hosted wine tasting party and regal city of Bordeaux France, breathtaking French Riviera and the charming Green Venice Canal excursion in la Rochelle France. There is plenty to do on board when transatlantic crossing or to unwind with ships pool, jacuzzi, spa, gym, table/board games, movies, regional shows/entertainment, lounges and more.

The culinary part of this experience was a foodies indulgence ordering breakfast, lunch or dinner in your room or bauquet /sit down service, excursion traveling with chefs to local markets while they pick food for the evening cuisine. cooking demonstrations with guest Chef Maria Hines. Wine tasting/seminar of the regional wines with Sommelier William Davis in every port, Chef pairing dinner extravaganza, Formal dining every evening with wine, ship deck barbecue with tons of raw seafood, cooked meats and all the fixings.

I also had a chance to sit down and talk about the history of the James Beard Foundation that has raised over & 6.5 million in scholarships over dinner with Marilyn Platzer – CFO/COO and her husband Kenneth Platzer also on this cruise.
