This Would Shock You,Larger Than Life,Can You Afford $55K Worth Of Headphones?
It is,
in a word, bananas. Like the original, the new Orpheus is a package deal, with
the headphones and the combo tube amplifier and DAC designed to work together
as a set. The amp is sheathed in (of course) Italian marble, and the tubes are
protected by (of course) bespoke quartz bulbs. The headphones deliver sound via
diaphragms crafted of vaporized titanium, because nothing else will do. The
Orpheus’s frequency response reaches all the way down to 8Hz, so you’ll be able
to feel the bones of your skull rattling every time Boosty zaps the Bob Gun.
The
headphone system will be available starting next year for €50,000 (about $55,000). We’ll get a chance to hear the
setup next week, and we’ll provide more detail about the design and the innards
once we’ve gone ears-on. In the meantime, take a look at the beautiful photos
above. Try to avoid thinking about liquidating your 401(K).
Would have actually loved one of these tho...except the producers would give me a guarantee that once i buy it ...its for ever and i would be hearing God speak to me inside it.lol.
