Quincy Jones Lends Name to Harman Headphone Line
Posted in: headphones, MP3 Digital Audio, Today's Chili 
Quincy Jones is probably best known as the producer of 1982’s Thriller and 1985’s “We Are the World,” as well as its truly musically unfortunate 2010 sequel, “We Are the World 25 for Haiti.”
That last Bieber and Auto-Tune-fueled misstep aside, Jones knows a thing or two about how music should sound, which is why Harman tapped him to endorse its latest line of high-end headphones. The cans (that’s what they can them in the biz, you know) have been branded the Quincy Jones Signature Line.
The headphones go by names like the Q 701 and the Q 460. The line features a number of different builds, including over the ear headphones and earbuds. Prices range from $149.99 to $479.99.
Jones will be donating a portion of the proceeds to his own Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium, an organization aimed at teaching music to children. The line is due out next month.
Jones is the latest in a string of recent headphone-endorsing celebrities, including Dr. Dre, P. Diddy, and Steve Jobs favorite, Lady Gaga.
