AKG Tiesto Headphones

Just got a Guitar Center catalog with the new AKG Tiesto headphones mentioned on numerous pages. Can't wait to see the reviews. I hereby claim the first funny review headline: In Search of Some Highs.

I'm not positive, but I believe that the new AKG Tiesto cans are intended for mixing/production work, not DJing. I'm guessing that they are doing the same thing as the Quincy Jones model - i.e., taking an existing model and tweaking it slightly and adding the Tiesto logo.

Yeah, you're right. I just noticed this in the article in the GC flier:

quote:
These headphones are designed for all music lovers - from DJs to iPod users and laptop listeners - who want the best sound quality...Just as AKG's K240M headphones have become standards in pro and home recording studios, Tiesto hopes that the high-end reference DJ model of his new headphone collection will become a new standard for DJs.

Well like it has already been said, at least he didn't go with monster to produce them.

And here's a lenghty review of them by Bob Katz and Eberhard Sengpiel but it is written in russian and the link is invisible.

Can we call these Tiestophones?

It's interesting how the headphone manufacturers are using music celebrities to endorse their brand.

Of the top of my head we have:

Dr Dre Beats

Tiestophones

701 AKG Quincy Jones Signature

Not having auditioned any of these, if I actually had to blindly choose one, I would go for the Quincy Jones. Why? Well, Tiesto is a DJ and probably has lost 80% of his hearing already. Dr. Dre is a doctor of rap and cool, but I don't really know if I could trust his magic ears. Now, Quincy Jones, he relies mostly on his ears for his day to day life. I think I would trust his judgement on what 'phones sound great.
