Gaming is one of the biggest things going right and it just continues to grow. It’s a no brainer that Monster would want to get its feet into the gaming arena once again. They made an attempt with EA Sports a couple of years back but this time have teamed up with Johnathan Wendel. Wendel is founder of Fatal1ty Gaming Gear and also a 12x world champion gamer. If anyone would know gaming it has to be this guy. Based on this collaboration we should be seeing a line of new audio products by around the holiday season.
