Soulfiesta Reviews TIMBRE GITARA HEADPHONES

Timbre Heaphones are now sold at Rockwell and soon Urban Athletics.



If you are in tune to my blog, you would've already seen this product featured a few times already. Two weeks ago, I finally received my Timbre Gitara Heaphones to use and review. First off, I still think owner and CEO Paul Diaz is crazy for doing hardware in a time that everyone stuck with creating their shirtlines -- kudos to your craziness! It legitimizes your brilliance and hard work!

I've seen Timbre create buzz around the metro, penetrating bazaars, college shows, exhibits, radio stations, the rock circuit and the hiphop scene, to celebrity influenced Tweets! Paul Diaz has been working his ass off and making sure the brand manages all the expectations brought about by a simple idea, painting the color of music in other words Visual Audio.

Timber, pronounced as Tam-Ber - is 100% Filipino owned.

The packaging - is legit, I opened my mail and looked through it, perfect branding components, with information on each side and the logo smack right in the middle. Design - how can you go wrong when you decide to have legendary graphics company Team Manila design your first headphones? Highly inspired by the local Gitara, it shows the iconic wheel that we usually find around the middle of an acoustic guitar. It has a matte finish - which has not been commercially done by any brand to this point with success! Great job on this! It also folds up similar to your Beats by Dre Studio headphones and has a non-tangling flat nylon cord - which if you are a headphones fiend like I am is a dream come true!

Sound quality, its perfect for your listening pleasure and quite frankly thats what this hardware was made for. It is not built for sound engineers nor to match your $400 pairs. This is perfect for your personal use.

Timbre Gitara Headphones is retailing at 2,499 PHP


However, there are certain flaws that I would love to see improved on. First off, the size on the headphones muffs. I think it would be better if it was a bit bigger - locking your entire ear comfortably. Next, more bass into the technology it currently has, I love bass and as a producer - even to listen to something I'd love to feel that extra umph to appreciate music better and lastly, it would be great to come up with a casing for this foldable piece of hardware. I wouldn't mind paying extra if I can get something to pack it in to with the rest of my things.

Over all, this piece of history is worth having - rumor is, there is another colorway similar to the national flag about to be dispatched to the consumer, hehehe. Team Manila collaborating with Timbre Headphones for its first product line is definitely something to check out for. With sales reaching Australia and New York without heavy marketing - Timbre has really stepped into the forefront of Philippine ingenuinety and is breaking barriers in relevance.

Soulfiesta gives it a 4 out of 5 rating.

Support your local talent, the way Timbre does - the brand is scene continuosly across the metro gaing its relevance through supporting local music, which is also embedded in the design. I can already see DJ's wearing it to gigs, radio jocks sporting it - the power of influence is within us, and only time will tell how influential Timbre is going to be to the consumer.
