Noel left his laboratory work in 1974 to perform with his band, Asian Wood. His passion for music was to become the essence of Noel's professional life, shaping the destiny of Monster and informing the development of Monster Products today. Monster is the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance consumer electronics accessories. Speakers, power, computers, mobile devices, gaming, pro music cables, and now headphones deliver sound at peak performance. Because the music matters.
