Music icon Quincy Jones announces headphone partnership with Harman International Industries Incorporated for the release of the Quincy Jones Signature Line by AKG.

The new collection includes three models: the Q701 reference-class premium over-ears, the Q460 high-performance portable on-ear mini headphones, and the Q350 in-ear headphones. All three styles will be available in October, at prices ranging from €59 to €499.

Jones discussed his relationship with the brand saying, “Throughout my entire career, I have trusted only AKG to deliver the highest standard of sound – the same standard I hold myself to when I make my music.”

“Quincy Jones and AKG have shared a long-running passion for quality sound and the infinite power music has to connect people and touch lives,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, chairman, president and CEO, Harman International. “We have partnered to introduce products into the marketplace that shine a light on how important sound quality is when you’re experiencing music in all aspects of your life.”



Always known for his humanitarian efforts, Jones is using his new deal as an opportunity to give back, as some of the earnings from each sale of the Quincy Jones Signature Line headphones will be given to the Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium. The foundation is dedicated to making music education an ongoing part of the lives of children in the United States.
