I don't care who's name stands on the headphone at all, for me it's about 70% down to having the right sound signature and frequency response balance and 20% isolation (I'm a computer hardware enthusiast overclocking and such so don't usually have the most quietest comp) and 10% comfort. I'd wear a "Hello Kitty" pink headphone if it had the sound I would be looking for to express my stand about the looks which means nothing to me for example.

 
Challenge Accepted!

If you wear those outside, I swear you're my hero.

Those were exactly the ones I was thinking of that I saw in the "ugliest headphones ever" thread probably (however I think they are quite cute but that's another topic of discussion). However I said I would wear it only "IF IT HAD THE SOUND I WAS LOOKING FOR" as otherwise it would just be pointless to wear them unless you look for attention but nice try. Besides I simply don't listen on-the-go only at home but it would be an entertaining moment for some friends visiting at least.

Fine, I'll get you a full-sized, open model from Hello Kitty, remove the drivers, put some HD598's drivers inside and invite all my hipster friends to watch =D

You arent going to be able to have that nice big hello kitty face on the side of the earcup with an open model

If you can give me a model number and a name, i'll buy it and wear it outside. I'm a guy btw.

Is that supposed to show how open-minded you are?
*slow clap*

 

[crayonhead]

Eh, I just like going against conventions.. 
but in all likely-hood, that is a form of marketing.

Well, if talking about the things I really like and use constantly, then marketing doesn't play any role at all. But it really helps when choosing a new product/service. Also, customers may not even realize they are influenced by different marketing techniques

 

[dynavit]

There is more marketing I dislike than marketing that makes me interested in a product.
Focal for example gives their products such a chichi-image that I don't like them at all.
And Sennheisers video about the HE1 is one of the worst adverisments I have ever seen.

I have never bought a pair of headphones or any hifi product for that matter because of marketing. Maybe indirect, because you at least have to be aware a product exists and the manufacturer has to present their product first. But I am not sensitive to the story, the mood or the life style a certain campaign tries to communicate, if I don't like the looks of the pair and more importantly if I don't like the price I'll pass. It is more likely I'd buy a pair despite a completely ridiculous and cheesy advertising.
Back in the 90s the Diesel jeans commercials were so much cooler for their more anti-cool image than the Levi's ones in that era. Never considered buying a pair of Diesel jeans.

Depends, does headfi count as marketing? Bought a 1266 once

 

[bagwell359]

i know i might of done it if i was younger. the only thing i bought that was endorsed though was a tennis racquet. a celebrity endorsing a product has absolutely no effect on me now so the quality of the product is what matters

Yes I agree younger people are more tied to externals. These days I dress like a troll, have no idea about who the "stars" are now and what they say. Isn't Katy Perry one of them? Can't sing worth a lick. Same with this "eyelash" person.
