They'll be more popular than the Lady Gaga headphones, we promise..

HDMI cables company Monster has branched out again, revealing a pair of limited edition luxury in-ear headphones bearing the name of the late, great, jazz trumpeter, Miles Davis.

As the world’s first audio hardware to bear his name, the Miles Davis Tribute headphones will be offered in an individually numbered limited edition and come accompanied by the official 50th Anniversary boxed set of the album Kind of Blue, featuring two music CDs, a DVD and 24-page booklet. Just to make these little earbuds extra luxurious, the Miles Davis Tribute headphones will even come packaged in a specially designed carrying case, styled with a plush blue velvet inlay to replicate the instrument case used by the legendary trumpeter.

Styled with a gold and brass finish to replicate the musician’s trumpet, the in-ear headphones are to feature a Miles Davis silhouette and gold-etched signature on each of the buds which are connected by a “kind of blue” cord, see what they did there…

These high-end headphones aren’t just about good looks though, with anew driver system and coming with multiple sizes of Monster’s high performance SuperTip eartips, designed to improve noise isolation and fit, the sound on these in-ear headphones won't be too shabby either. Tuned with advanced sonic technologies to produce the subtle sounds and swooning soles of the jazz scene, these high-tech headphones will also sound great with whatever tunes you want to throw at them.

If all that wasn’t good enough, to save you worrying about your new luxury headphones that will set you back £229.95, the Miles Davies Tribute headphones come with a unique guarantee. Along with the standard warranty on manufacturer defects, those generous folks over at Monster are offering a one-time Limited Lifetime Replacement Guarantee. Basically, if you accidentally break the Miles Davis Tribute headphones in any way, Monster will replace them once for no charge.
