2.Sennheiser Orpheus Headphones – $30,000
Unlike the Beats by Dr Dre present on this list the Sennheiser Orpheus Headphones do not have such a huge price because of the expensive or precious materials used for its manufacturing.
The reason why these are so pricey is the simple fact that the headphones’ manufacturer focused on quality and top-notch features.
Firstly introduced in 1991, there are only 300 pieces known to have been made.
Although gold was indeed used for the headphones it was not used for its looks but rather for its metallic properties – gold cannot be magnetized and it’s one of the best conductors assuring close to no signal loss.
The headgear comes along with a headphone amplifier and it is indeed an important part of the whole assemblage.
