Ferrari Headphones at CES

So what are they rebrands of??

I'm thinking those Panasonic RP-HTX7 or whatever they're called.

the brown ones looks very nice actually. are they for music or mainly for noise isolation on the racing events?

If they were at CES then music is more likely.

The second headphone looks awesome.

I hope the prancing horse gives the establishment a run for their money. 

Haha, both those headphones look very nice, will be interesting to hear how they sound, maybe Jude or Tyll will comment on them after CES.

I wonder if they have a very fast response time.

They're from Logic3.  I saw them yesterday and thought the form factor interesting as well, although every model I think was noise cancelling.  And some models were strictly noise cancelling (not intended for listening to music etc) so obviously for "at the track".  The brown ones do look comfortable and solid, but who knows how they sound, especially with the noise cancelling...

they look good. hopefully they're not a letdown lol

Wouldn't that take a very thin diaphragm? Stax (and Koss, to a lesser extent) could use some competition...

Anyway, while I'd rather see Ferrari planting their badge onto racing simulator wheels (makes more sense, and while they already do this, those wheels are surpassed by other offerings), I suppose it wouldn't hurt to find out if these headphones can give you that sensation of wind blowing across your face and ears as you speed down a twisty track, engine roaring along the way, somehow not sliding right off a turn and plowing into a wall or worse. (Which will happen to you all the time if you try something like Grand Prix Legends coming from other racing games...)

Oh, and the second headphone looks much better. Clean and classy, not gaudy.

+1

second headphone looks world-class. first one looks too cheesy.

Cheesy is an understatement. The first one looks like earmuffs. I wouldn't want my headphones to look like that.
