Knuckledragger Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 "Stop pretending to be a rap star." Leather & metal closed dynamics. Reasonably attractive looking. They have a kickstarter. Higher amounts get you an actual pair of cans. I know one guy in LA who has a set and claims to love them, but he's much more of a gamer than an audio snob. Quote
mrarroyo Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Very retro looking and IMO they look nice in a different kind of way. Quote
catscratch Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 They look swell. The measurements they posted, less so. I'm not sure what to make of "tuned for rock, country, and alternative" either. Quote
Spychedelic Whale Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Too big, I wouldn't use them outside. Quote
grawk Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Do you generally use full sized closed cans outdoors? They're not selling them for jogging. Quote
Spychedelic Whale Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I don't, but isn't the idea to get the young crowd using headphones without rapper bling? In aesthetics alone I don't see them wanting it. Maybe I'm wrong and california doesn't give a fuck to aesthetics. Quote
robm321 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I like the retro look Edited July 18, 2012 by robm321 Quote

Augsburger Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Let me ask Lindsey Lohan what cans she uses. I will get back to you............ Quote
grawk Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Maybe I'm missing something. Rapper bling headphones aren't generally "Oh, yah, those are definitely outside headphones" either. And it's not supposed to appeal to the people looking for those, it's an alternative. I imagine it's not the basketball, jogging, or mountain biking users they're trying to capture either. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 The cord isn't exactly right, and I'd have to hear how well they isolated, but I'd say the Calis might work for DJing. Quote
The Monkey Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I think they're ugly and I also think Kickstarter is a pain in the ass. Other than that, great stuff! Quote
grawk Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I like kickstarter a lot. And no one makes you fund stuff there, it's just a way to help people make shit you want to buy. Quote
Tyll Hertsens Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 The California Headphones are brought to you by the same folks that produce the Fanny Wang brand. I've got both the Siverado and Loredo. Measurements will go up in next months update, but they're no big deal. Not bad, but not good either ... prolly not worth any lusty thoughts. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Shouldn't they not be made out leather? Palm leaves, perhaps? Hemp? J/K... Quote
