Headphoneus Supremus
I've seen alot of disgruntled head-fiers complain about how headphone makers advertise their products. so this is what i have found:
1. Sennheiser places their stuff in comercials, discretely, and they put them in popular stores like Circut City and Apple
2. Shure is also seen in popular stores and sends their stuff out to reviewers like Cnet.
3. Grado sends their stuff out to some reviewers, but not the high end stuff and they are not in popular stores but in audiophile/mid audio stores, like Cambridge
4. Beyer is unheard of, but there are pictures of pretty actresses with them on.... strange way to advertise but i guess it works for them.
5. Ultimate Ears, does not exists anywhere outside of the internet, but is reviewed.
6. Bose, everyone knows how they advertise.
the rest i don't think they advertise at all.
Ive actually considered going into the cambridge store on Shattuck and yelling at them: no one is in your store! look, there are 30K students out there, 20K with ipods, at least half of them buy headphones. why don't you try to promote the sennheisers and gradoes you have behind your counter? why not put up a display and let people listen?
