"People say we've never sold out," joked Lemmy during the launch. "No one ever approached us." The headphones were specifically designed to bring out midrange sounds unlike other high-end headphones like Beats, which place an emphasis on bass. Brand manager Andres Nicklassen – who initially approached Motorhead about the headphones with CEO Ulf Sandberg – said that too much bass takes the soul out of rock. Or, as Lemmy put it, "It's like you're listening through a towel." Motorheadphones are made of all metal and will be available in three different over-ear designs and six in-ear models, with prices for the latter ranging between $49.99 and $59.99, and $99.99 to $129.99 for the former. Most of the headphones will be smart-phone ready, with two models coming with a recently developed microphone remote control called the "Controlizer." Motorheadphones have been available in Europe since last fall, and they'll start shipping in the U.S. in April.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,926981#msg-926981Sat, 25 May 2013 11:11:05 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927184#msg-927184 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927184#msg-927184 nursenancy NoticeboardFri, 18 Jan 2013 04:29:27 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927161#msg-927161 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927161#msg-927161 gary191265 NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 22:24:06 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927081#msg-927081 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927081#msg-927081
I'm not real impressed with the overall sound and they also "leak" sound.
What I do like is how they fold up, the case and the fact that the cord has an input to the headphone. I tend to get caught on whatever I'm around so it's nice to have a "breakaway" feature!

For the money I would have rather had the Bose headphones.]]> cabojuju NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 05:31:17 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927030#msg-927030 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,927030#msg-927030 Addyeddy NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 20:02:36 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,926981#msg-926981 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926981,926981#msg-926981http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/motorheads-lemmy-unveils-anti-beats-headphones-at-ces-20130109
