Anderton Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Fender is pushing their headphones...with Gibson presumably out of the headphone market, they pretty much have guitar-maker-makes-headphones market cornered Of course, Marshall amps makes headphones too. I wonder how it's going for them...anyone used Fender or Marshall headphones? Are they any good?

zeronyne Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They sell Marshall headphones at Macy's during the holidays, at least in Chicago. I had a chance to give them a good listen. They are typical Chinese factory headphones. Plenty loud, hyped bass response, fine for casual listening. I actually preferred the other headphones that they were selling adjacently that had little light up cat ears on the headpiece. Quote "For instance" is not proof.

J. Dan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I assume the market is a bit more "consumer listening" as opposed to what I use IEM's for which is live monitoring. Can't imagine spending that kind of money unless they were custom molded, tour tested, etc. and even then, can't imagine they would warrant 8 times the price I paid for the ones I currently use and am happy with.

You're not willing to pay $100 for earphones and $1,000 for a logo? What's wrong with you?

J. Dan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 LOL. I WILL say that the thermoplastic tips sound intriguing, because after a 4 hour gig, my ear canals can start to feel a bit sore. But that's probably just because I don't play as much anymore. When I wore them every single Friday and Saturday night, I don't recall them getting sore like they do now.

BMD Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Who in their right mind would pay $1,200 for earbuds??

Mike Rivers Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Who in their right mind would pay $1,200 for earbuds?? Personally, I wouldn't pay a dollar for earbuds, but some people can't live very long without them. The Shure KSE1500 is an electrostatic earbud system that costs $2500, so these Fender earbuds are just a drop in the bucket.
