Signeo Takes On Monster with Ludacris Earphones
Beats by Dr. Dre headphones are becoming increasingly popular, however, Monster isn't the only company pairing up with a top recording artist to sell headphones.
Signeo is using CES 2011 as the launch pad for a new line of headphones that are endorsed by none other than rapper Ludacris.
"It was important to our team to create a collection of audio concepts that not only delivers a powerful and precise listening experience, but also embodies the kind of style people look for in a nice pair of sunglasses or even a sports car", said Bob Bonefant, Executive Director of Signeo USA. "Ludacris is a perfect partner for us as he is the consummate individualist and has such a talent for infusing a distinct style into everything he does."
Signeo is kicking things off with a fistful of models in all the most popular form factors. Whether you’re into noise cancelling, in-ear, or over-ear, the SOUL by Ludacris line has got you covered with the SE 49, SE99, SL100, SL150, and SL300. No word on pricing just yet but we do know that they’ll be hitting retail stores in ‘early 2011’ so it should be any time now.
We’ll look for these at CES (they officially launch tomorrow) and let you know how they sound. If we can’t get a hands-on, we’ll at least know that the colour is very loud. Look how gold they are!

For what they're likely to wind up charging, I hope they come with a free eighth of chronic. XD
Word.
Honestly, these headphones will never be as good as ones where you DONT pay for the endoresement.
I had a run in with those Dr.Beatz headphones at bestbuy. I tried them on and listened to couple of songs on the sample station. Well I had not looked at the price of them, and before i did I took a stab at guessing it. I looked at the headphones and decided the plastic was cheap, the overall construction did not give them impression of durability, and the drivers/speakers themselves sounded like some idiot put a subwoofer in each ear without any attention paid to the ACTUAL MUSIC. I guessed 30-55 bucks. I was shocked to see a 200+ tag on them.
If they are endorsed by a rapper, there will be bass. And hey, more bass.
Who needs mids and highs in the music these days? Certainly not me, the listener.....
/end sarcasm.
Another hyped set of cans with no specs from the manufacturer. The endorsement deal was most likely done first before the headphones were designed.
It looks like Ludacris wanted to hope on the overpriced shit headphones bandwagon. I wonder who is next?
^^This spam shit is getting old. You people at Tom's put a spam filter on or something^^ 3 post above me was total spam.. Lame
Hard to say what the quality will be. Beats Pro are wonderful, but sadly and terribly overpriced.
hay can we get a captcha, or at the very least a filter to send messages with a url to a moderator to approve?
i was loling at first, but its not funny anymore
dre is a legend. along with eminem, he kicks ludacris ass
Rap does not automatically mean bass. That is completely false. Sure rap music's core instrument is percussion but these days rap music or hip hop music has become much more musical that it used to be. They are starting to blend of number of different musical styles now.
As far as these endorsement brands, not worth the money when you can get a nice pair of AKG's, Sennheisers, or Beyerdynamic headphones for around that price that will blow the doors off them and that is just to name a few.
Soul by Ludacris. Ludacriously expensive.
Spent hours on this decision and for the money the Sennheisers were the best performers and great prices.
