MOTÖRHEAD To Launch Complete Assortment Of Headphones And Earphones - Aug. 24, 2012
This fall MOTÖRHEAD will launch a complete assortment of headphones and earphones. The first generation's assortment will consist of nine products in total, three headphones, and six in-ear models. All will be sold under their new brand name Motörheadphönes.

Motörheadphönes will be the first brand name in the headphone segment that globally will focus on the rock/pop audience, a target group who are critical listeners and goes with the attitude that rock stands for. The rock audience is by far the largest group of music listeners, according to surveys on what music the consumers are streaming.

Price range will be between €39.99 and €49.99 for the earphones and between €69.99 and €129.99 for the headphones. Most models will be smartphone-ready, two of the headphones will be equipped with the new developed microphone "Controlizer," which will be one of the most advanced remote controls on the market. The products will be available on the European market in the end of September.

Commented the band: "No weak-kneed, lily-livered, tin-pot and skinny sounding little pieces of garbage, no, that ain't MOTÖRHEAD's style. These are headphönes designed to deliver everything louder than everything else BUT with the sort of range, clarity and TRUE rock reproduction you'd expect from a band of road warriors who have been at the top of the tree year after year. Because, like üs, these don't fuck around... remember, if it's too loud, you're too old."

The products are developed audio- and design-wise together with MOTÖRHEAD and a longtime experienced sound expertise from the hometown of harder rock in Gothenburg, Sweden, led by Anders Nicklasson with 30 years' experience from Audio development. Distribution and marketing is handled worldwide by Krusell International AB.

Motörheadphönes will be officially launched at a press conference on August 31 at 4:00 p.m. at Motörheadphönes booth at IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung) hall 9 booth 313 in Berlin, Germany. Attending the event will be Mikkey Dee (MOTÖRHEAD), Ulf Sandberg (Krusell) and Anders Nicklasson (Krusell).

Nice design, too bad it represents a shitty band. And in case I haven't said it lately, fuck you Lemmy. Ignorant fucking dick.

Lemmy is God, and therefore you shall perish ShadowOfTheWave. Never undermine the mojo and infinitely-powerful cool of Lemmy and Motorhead. They'll make your lawn die if they moved in next door, and they'll make your ears frickin' bleed with 1000 decibels. It IS smart of them to market earphones. Shit, Motorhead is one of THE loudest, satisfying bands to see and hear live. Like how AC/DC makes the most of volume and you just get totally rocked the fuck out at one of their gigs.

Moral of the story? Lemmy's coming for you, Shadow. No one can escape the bullshit-disintegrating power of a one Lemmy Kilmister/God. I'd head for the hills and hide like bin laden if I were you lol.

Motorhead should market earplugs, too. Nothing is as loud as a Motorhead gig. Get the earplugs for when you bring your kids. They're not old enough yet to be able to decide they want to lose their hearing. That'd be cool: with the Motorhead skull logo on them. Come to think of it, make the new headphones double as ear muffs for the live shows. I can see that happening!

I agree. This is kind of sell-out of them. I have albums and cassettes of Motorhead going back 30 years and the sound recording-wise is just awful so I don't know why you'd listed to Motorhead with custom head phones. Spend a few more grand setting up your amps and kit and use better mics instead. What are they thinking?

...people dont say that because Motorhead aren't already zillionaires like Ki$$...they actually need the money.

And if people went out and paid for the music Lem, Phil Mikkey created, maybe they wouldn't need to do this and appear as sellouts to simpletons.

Just sayin'...

I would imagine listeing to motorhead through headphones could seriously damage your hearing! Anything less than mega f**king loud is unacceptable for the God that is Lemmy!

If you're in the market for quality earphones, check out Head-Fi.org's discussion forum. There are hundreds of earphones out there that blow these things away.

Damn right. If you want a good set of headphones go for Sehnheiser HD 650 or AKG 701, and if money is not a problem HD 850 o Beyerdynamic are top of the top; you'll need a head amp either way. Nice looking headphones but surely far away from serious music listening.

As long as they're nothing like beats, then that'll be good.

I am stumped now. I was going to either purchase Dr. Beats or Quncy Jones headphones, but now I might get these for my hardcore rap collection.

Man I'm dissapointed, geez one of the greatest bands ever just selling out like that, haha. Just joking this is a great idea, might even pick some up. I'm sure it will be Motorhead sound quality. Extra Loud.

They probably sound as good as Lemmy hears these days with all the loud rock n roll and whatnot.
