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

@Roxy

It's an oxymoron, a variation of raising tide lifts all boats. I.e. Increasing prices.

@ Inna

I bet they will sell a few ;)

@ Schubert:

Nothing astute about it.

Just the fact that now there is the wide open gap. Difference b/w the the next highest priced headphones is around $5K, 1/10th the price. So, in the coming years, headphone manufacturers will be filling the gap.

Forget the amp that's being paired and sold as a set, one can find creative ways to fit the bill ;)

One has to take the plunge to test the market, and Seinheisser as a company can do it. If all 250 disappear in the following months, then whola 😬

These headphones prices seem like a blip on the radar when compared to this:
