In any case a branded headphone doesn't "tarnish" his reputation in my opinion. As a matter of fact I can see someone wearing these phones and get asked; Who was/is Miles Davis We're nearly 20 years after his death now and a whole generation has not been exposed to his music.
Yes, opinions Geoff. If his estate is doing that poorly then I would think it has more to do with fiscal responsibility than income. In which case, they will need several more "deals" to stay afloat I'm sure.

You've made a good point about recognition, although I don't know how much anyone would care when it's discovered that way. As far as young people finding Miles, anyone who loves music and seeks out the best, will be lead to Miles Davis.

I have to say, short of his years spent as a drug addict, I can't see him jumping on any band wagon for a fast buck. That's just my impression.
