Zero celebrities have endorsed these headphones (but they should)

Quincy Jones does not use these headphones. These headphones are NOT tuned to the sound of the D.R.E. These headphones are not Ludacris. Rebelling against a world of intense headphone branding, Status Audio HD One headphones have no plans to offer anything but clear sounds and great design.

The foldable Status Audio HD One features 40mm titanium drivers, a matte rubberized finish, and flat cable with inline controls. There are three different color options, without any logos. As Status Audio asks us in a Northern English Winterfell accent, "does any of that other stuff really matter?"
