Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next

Geoff, a solid gold plated with platinum would be best .

The interesting thing is Sennheiser makes headphones for all at all price points and they all tend to mostly all be good performers at their price points. Will these end that streak? It's not like Sennheiser only caters to the elite although their products have achieved a certain high status in their market over the years. Can any thing sound that much better though? I wonder. Sennheiser has earned a lot of good will over the years and mostly avoided gimmicks I think.

I suppose if they are good enough to earn clear acknowledgement as the worlds best headphones as the price would suggest then that accolade alone must infer some unique value.

Anything less would have to be considered a failure for that price I would think.

Gosh, wasn't it Sennheiser that had another really expensive set of headphones with amplifier twenty five or thirty years ago? You know, the ones everyone said was the Best in the World. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Here is what the "New" $55K Sennheiser should be compared to.
