Accessible price for the non-pretentious sound. That would be my perfect headphone.

For me, the perfect headphones would sound exactly like DT150s, isolate like DT770Ms, and be as comfortable as Bose Over-Ears.

ITA with you, a more comfortable DT150 would be awesome. Will you have a celebrity endorse your perfect phones?

 

[Steggy]

Fabio could make a successful endorsement for headphones.

Actually I think I read that the singer from Within Temptation is an audiphile. My money is on her.

Jonas Brothers 'phones with 4" needles instead of drivers.

You know, the irony here is that we've seen pictures of Dream Theater's studio.

They use Fostex T20's. Old ones.

Dreamtheater headphones - makes all music sound technically proficient and totally boring.

 

[Joelby]

How about a DJ that could promote the cans at his/her shows. They would have to be good for them to use them every night.

ie. Deadmau5 endorsing DeadCan5

That would be cool

Also, how about some Led Zeppelicans. They could be shaped like zeppelins. How badass would that be?

Knock 'em down with the sex appeal at least. More skin, pricier phones. You know it'd be true.

Bit of a shame. Though, if it were true that she was an audiophile... Wow.

Wat. $60 headphones as studio monitors? How nice could they possibly be?

No, these ones:

They date from about 1977 though they were in production well into the 90's.

The Musicians Friend picture is the T20RP, which is actually better, and also out of production. If you ordered from them, you'd get a T20RP MkII, which is potentially good, but has a very different driver from the earlier two versions.

You'd be amazed. Team Ortho has been trying to tell you people for years now . . . .

But really only the very current model T50RP is what we recommend at the moment of fostexen that can be bought new. It costs about $15 more. The T20RPMkII might be good too w/ the current earpads but we don't know for sure.

 

[iGig]

Thanks ericj for all that info, this is interesting. I've seen those threads by Team Ortho and I disregarded the T50 as just another ugly phone, now I'm interested to read more about them.
Hey, celebrity scandal placebo marketing is working on me!

 

[Suntory_Times]

Hmm, I don't care if someone endorses my headphones or not, though if they endrossed a good pair it could lead to more people trully hearing there music.
