Just like Bose, here's a great example of a company that thrives on
a
false consumer perception of the quality of their products. People
(especially home theater consumers) think that they make the highest
quality cable on the market, therefore it must be true.

However, a much more important reason to never ever ever ever ever
ever
use anything from Monster is their vicious, absurd, thuggish
litigation
practices. They will pretty much sue anyone, audio-related or not,
that
uses the word "Monster" in their name. None of which would in any
way be
confused with their company, such as the TV show Monster Garage,
the movie
Monsters Inc., a vintage clothing store called Monster Vintage, so
on and
so on.

It's ludicrous that they are allowed to continue this practice.

A Google search will show scores of frivolous lawsuits they've
filed over
the years, none of which have merit and many of which have proved
disastrous to the defendants, forcing many innocent business owners
to
spend untold dollars to defend themselves against these false
accusations,
and sometimes lose the companies they worked so hard to build.

Boycott all Monster products. Period. No exceptions.
