Texan studio owner Harvey Gerst was sick of spending money on headphones for his studio, which always ended up being broken by the bands he recorded. So he did some research, and is now selling his own brand of cheap, rugged, reliable headphones, called "MoreMe". For $20 a pair. This was his design brief: "you need 'really loud' first, 'great isolation' second, 'good sound' third, and 'rugged construction' fourth."
