RussTCB Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Pic looks fine to me. Kind of an odd endorsement, but if he actually uses them, why not endorse them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah, Axl is surely using this advanced headphone set to search for all the imperfections in the new songs and correct them with 20 layers of overdubs, then he will release CDII ASAP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Shame they didn't go for a special Axl/GNR-branded edition.Surprised DJ doesn't have a line of Demented™ headphones.50 Cent's got his SMS Audio ones, and Monster's making Swizz Beatz branded ones after getting burned by Beats/Jimmy Iovine.Here's the story of how Monster got screwed out of Beats, really interesting: http://gizmodo.com/5981823/beat-by-dre-the-inside-story-of-how-monster-lost-the-worldDon't have too much sympathy for a company that sells overpriced cables, though.

Guest NGOG Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Beta probably took the picture and Fernando collected the paycheck. Would they do us the honour of publicly endorsing the possibility of a new GNR record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro-mero Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ultrasone Series 8 (the ones Axl is wearing) are listed at $1500 on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm sure they're amazing, but also crazy-expensive. Spent some time on some headphone boards a while back and you can get a great pair for $100-$200. As the price goes up, so does the quality but you reach a point where only a true audiophile can tell the difference.I think this is cool enough - if Axl is really enthusiastic about these cans why not endorse them? That's what I would do if I was a celebrity who wasn't desperate for money .. don't do commercials for products I couldn't care less about, but promote stuff I really do think deserves it.

Amir Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm happy with these at home to be honest (cable is too long for them to be portable): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Closed-On-ear-Stereo-Headphone/dp/B003LPTAYI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1382122838&sr=8-5&keywords=sennheiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are incredible headphones for that price, better than others that cost almost twice as much. And holy crap are they durable! Whenver they end uo breaking, I'll definitely be getting another pair of Sony MDR-somethings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Maybe with these headphones we'll finally hear why Chinese Democracy took so long to be released. For now, it's still an unsolved mistery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bards Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The message here is that it takes $1500 headphones for CD to sound like anything other than a jumbled mishmash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
