Picture this – it’s Friday at 5pm. You pack up your bags at work, walk outside, and grab the bus to head home. It’s a beautiful day so you stop off to sit at a bench in your neighborhood park for a bit. You look around. What do you see? Most likely, it’s people in headphones. In fact, you’ve probably encountered hundreds today walking around the city, bopping along to their favorite music.
It wasn’t too long ago that your vision of the park would have, instead, included a group of people gathered around a boombox, listening to music together.
At the 2017 Budweiser Made in America Festival, Monster® CEO Noel Lee explained that bringing back the community aspect of music is part of the vision behind launching the Monster Firecracker.

Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee®, who was a laser-fusion design engineer™ at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory™. From this discovery, he developed as well as an audiophile and professional drummer. Lee® discovered that wires of different constructions produced varying degrees of audio performance high performance speaker cable, named it Monster Cable, and literally created an industry. The invention of Monster Cable created a new product category that revolutionized® the audio market. Prior to Monster Cable, most stereo systems were wired with ordinary “zip-cord,” the same cable used for electrical household and lamp wire. Their inferior construction and cheap materials restricts power, dynamic range and clarity in the lows, mids, and highs.
