Fanny Wang Headphone Co.

AMPLIFY YOUR SOUND & STYLE WITH FANNY WANG CUSTOM COLORED HEADPHONES

Available For Any Model, New Customized Headphones Allows Music Lovers to Create a Pair that Will Look as Good as They Sound

Danville, CA – November 17, 2011 – Fanny Wang Headphone Co. breaks through the "noise" in the crowded headphone market, with today's announcement of a custom colorization option for their 1001 On Ear as well as 2001 and 3001 Over Ear models. Music fanatics and fashionistas alike will now have a full spectrum of colors to accompany any musical taste, enabling them to create one-of-a-kind headphones.

"At Fanny Wang, we understand that someone's distinct style is just as unique as what's found on their music players, and we want our headphones to be as customizable as possible," explains Fanny Wang Headphone Company CEO, Tim Hickman. "I think it is this mentality that helps set us apart from the other companies in the headphone space. We have created a high-quality product that sounds fantastic with any type of music, looks cool and is quintessentially YOU. These headphones are endorsed by our consumers, and now they can put their stamp – their name - on a special pair."

Via Fanny Wang's interactive website http://customs.fannywang.com/, music fans will be able to choose from an array of colors for seven different parts of the Fanny Wang headphone: outside band, inside band, center disc, sound chambers, accent strip, ear muffs and cord. With more than 1 million possible color combinations, it is easy to "amplify your sound" while rocking something that reflects your personal style.

As with all Fanny Wang products, consumers will be able to get "plugged in" to the latest technology. With the unique, integrated Duo Jack and compact design, you can share your favorite beats anywhere you go. All models deliver custom-paired titanium-plate drivers, tuned to deliver natural, thumping bass with crystal clear mids and highs that compliment anything from Hip Hop to Classic Rock to Classical. In addition, the 3001 Over Ear's four-way noise canceling technology eliminates up to 95% of ambient sound, so absolutely nothing gets in between you and your music.

Shipping just in time for the holidays, any model would be the perfect present for the hard-to-buy-for audiophile on your list. Once an order is customized at http://customs.fannywang.com/, it is then relayed to the factory to be individually assembled. The customized headphones are then shipped directly to the customer via FedEx. The entire process takes approximately three weeks.

Home from 250 miles up....

Yes I do get a lil' nerdly sometimes and I found this dope ass video of the small rock we call home... A time-lapse taken from the front of the International Space Station as it orbits our planet at night. This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica. Visible cities, countries and landmarks include (in order) Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Fransisco, Los Angeles. Phoenix. Multiple cities in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Mexico City, the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Lightning in the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and the Amazon. Also visible is Earth's ionosphere (thin yellow line) and the stars of our galaxy.

FreeHandProfit - Air Jordan Fusion 4 Gas Mask

This is the 13th mask in The Branding Wars series by Freehand Profit. In a lot of ways these masks represent the world through the eyes of a sneakerhead. Among the incessant images of advertising, we’re reminded that the world is crumbling under the hands of war. The two industries collide in a way that still feeds our love of the object without losing the unsettling imagery of masks of war. The work looks to address a number of issues including identity and consumerism in a society at war. I’m not looking to preach in my work however, these pieces are very personal. The choice to use shoes as the “objects of desire” points inward at my own materialism. I’m not here to condemn consumerism but instead to examine it’s roll in order to keep it in check. Each piece begins with the destruction of something I believe holds value, this forces me to admit to myself that there are more important things, like my art, than a fresh pair of kicks (blasphemous I know, but honest).

The gas mask has a tendency to be that nagging voice in the back of our busy minds that says “While you’re waiting in line for the newest pair of Js, there’s people dying and fighting for the most basic human needs and rights.” On the other hand, the gas mask is an icon of the graffiti community. [When] we wear masks like respirators it’s not only to protect our lungs but to protect our identity. It is also a testament to the mindset of “bombing”, going to war with art as your weapon.

The Branding Wars are a fight between the happy consumer and the conscious mind. Acknowledging our materialism without ignoring the troubles we face as a society.

Forgive me if I’m ranting or seem incoherent. I’m using this blog to explore some of my thoughts and directions of this project in a public forum. My work, like all art, must be open to interpretation. Truth is I’m still discovering and adjusting my thoughts and approach to The Branding Wars.

Just to let you know this one of one has been sold but check his website out for future projects. Regardless of the matter how you feel about someone cuttin' up one of the best pair of J's they've came out with the construction and though process is simply dope...
