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

Saudi royal family loves expensive toys and has plenty of money. I suppose they donate something to someone somewhere but who knows. They certainly do not have to answer to anybody.

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

Trickle down economics maybe?

I'd love to hear them also.

Good point too about about the benefits to others when a profitable purchase is made.

The resale prices down the road are the only true indicators of what a new product is really worth to the buyer at any given time.

As a buyer, not that I could afford these in any case, but I always want to hear anything new that pushes the limits or might set a new reference standard in any way.

If I did like them and could afford them, I would have less problem paying the price for headphone and amp like this compared say to wires in that there will be little doubt teh amp and headphones are the major factors in teh resulting sound I hear whereas accessories always play a lesser role. That's why they are called "accessories".

Insanity sounds like an effective pastime. Us audio kooks should know. 🤑

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.
