Well part of that price tag goes to amortizing the freaking movie they made for the website! And they made a tube amp out of Carrara marble! So its a lifestyle product and a 250 unit production run I'm sure it will sell out very quickly. $55K may be crazy money to you and me but for many its in their discretionary income. So I would say kinda cool and kinda crass both at the same time.
You guys are missing the point, $50K headphones are not aimed at audiophiles they are aimed at rich folk who want the latest cool blinged out gadget. And trust me Sennheiser has been around a long time if they don't think they could sell 250 units they wouldn't have made them.
