Axl rocking the Ultrasone Edition 8 headphones
With CD sales of over 100 million, the American singer and Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is one of the most successful rock artists in the world. Rock legend Rose knows how global hits should sound – and so for some time now he has been using headphones from the Bavarian company Ultrasone for his own listening pleasure. The artist was so pleased with the Edition 8 that he immediately became an official ambassador for the Ultrasone brand.
Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, November Rain – together with his band, Guns N’ Roses, Axl Rose has written rock music history. Even today, the line-up is one of the most successful rock bands in the world, and in 2012 was inducted into the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame”.
In private, Axl Rose likes to enjoy his favourite music in his own personal way, and carefully follows developments in headphone technology. And this is how, some time ago, he came into contact with Ultrasone AG. Since its inception, the headphone manufacturer from the Bavarian town of Wielenbach, near Lake Starnberg, has specialised in headphone development, and holds more than 60 patents in this sector.
S-Logic is a favourite with musicians and music lovers alike
The patented S-Logic technology has won numerous awards as an outstanding innovation. By means of decentrally configured transducers and targeted reflections in the inner ear, this technology creates a unique spatial listening experience. The music sounds as if it is coming from a wide stage, just as the artists intended. Many well-known musicians and producers already rely upon Ultrasone headphones.
“We are thrilled to have the endorsement from Axl Rose,” comments Dragana Zirkel, whose marketing agency, the Don Dexter Agency GmbH, is responsible for Ultrasone’s Artist Relations worldwide. “We’ve been friends with Axl Rose for some time now and are delighted that he’s so enthusiastic about using Ultrasone headphones and recommends them to others. It is not only the sound quality of Ultrasone headphones that he values, but also the exquisite workmanship of the Editions range.”
Axl Rose delighted with Edition 8
In particular, Axl Rose swears by Ultrasone’s Edition 8, exclusive headphones that enclose the ear, designed for enjoying music at home and on the road. Edition 8 is available in the Ruthenium or Palladium models as well as “Romeo” and “Juliet”. These different models feature a unique combination of exquisitely soft, supple leather and precious metal finish.
Ultrasone has dedicated a website to its endorsers and private customers who listen to music with their “Ultrasones” every day. You can read their stories at www.ultrasone-fanpage.com.
