The Sennheiser Urbanite is the ultimate lover of ears. Won’t you let him love yours?

 

 

So yea, this is something interesting. Sennheiser seems to be taking a direction in their marketing and are shying away from the status-quo that every other Tech firm is going for. This latest ad, which looks almost about as creepy as Little Baby's Ice cream ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erh2ngRZxs0 ) shows a guy dressed as a headphone massaging, washing and 'loving' the ear.

 

EDIT: Since the advert, they have released a few other adverts of the same style ( https://www.youtube.com/user/sennheiserofficial/videos ), definitely spicing up the advert world.

 

Would you buy a Sennheiser Ultimate? After this advert I sure want one.

 

 

Anyone else want to let him love yours? pardon the pun

Start of video, I was thinking "WTF man?!"

End of video, I'm having issues breathing due to laughing so hard! xD

 

Kind of appropriate to be watching that, as I'm currently using a pair of Sennheiser HD201's I got with my Nexus7 from EB Games earlier this year! xD

This is what marketing money on the back of a wave of bandwagoneering gamers buying your products can do.

 

That, and introducing a bunch of "gaming" products that made the entire original point of buying their product pointless.

 

PS: Not saying Sennheiser are bad or anything. Just that the gaming hive mind is, and their lack of individuality.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I must say they have my ears all worked up and umm.... Horny... intrigued.  

Ola Englund does not approve of your hashtags. Sleep is for the weak, insomnia builds character.

As you are reading this you are slowly traveling forwards in time to where you will get out of the time machine and continue to read posts. Too spookyfor100me.

I would buy one, but not because this commercial but because of the reviews of it by Barnacules and JayZTwoCents.

I think the video is extremely funny, a bit cringeworthy but I had to laugh.

The german accent is brilliant

144Hz goodness

Of course the german accent is good. Sennheiser is a german brand?

That's not my point.

It's overdone and exaggerated which makes it funny.

Hearing a german man talk erotically in an advert is rather disturbing but hilarious. @beebskadoo get over here and watch this if you haven't. You may find this quite entertaining as well.

I'm genuinely disturbed.

 

I will not be using the Urbanites to listen to Slayer with because I wouldn't be able to stop imagining the guy in the advert as the "Angel of Death" from the song.
