Sennheiser Orpheus: headphones for 50 thousand euros!

The Sennheiser Orpheus HE90 from 1991 hold a very special place in the hearts of audiophiles. Headphones for 16,000 euros, for which 300 lucky customers received a tube amplifier made especially for these headphones, received worthy successors 24 years later. The Sennheiser Orpheus is the next generation of the famous headphones that create frequencies beyond the reach of the human ear (and, by the way, beyond the financial reach of 99 percent of people). Why? We have no idea, but it sure sounds (and technically it doesn't actually sound) crazy good.

Sennheiser Orpheus they are headphones for sinners 50 thousand euros. There are Rolex watches, Rolls-Royce and Louis Vuitton handbags between the headphones. An irrationally priced product for irrational buyers to satisfy human vanity. Sennheiser Orpheus are the successors of headphones Sennheiser Orpheus HE90, which raised the bar a step or two higher. They are more expensive and just as well collector's item, as production will be limited to 250 copies per year. The amplifier is fully manufactured from marble and equipped with a new signal processor, and the switches only appear when switched on.

That Sennheiser did not leave anything to chance is proven by the high-quality wood headphone storage box, exceptional German leather and copper cabling, which are just the icing on the cake. The experts at Sennheiser have honed all the components of the headphones down to the last detail in order to raise the user experience to a higher level, ending up in sound heaven and even beyond the reach of the human ear. They built into the headphones 8 DAC-converters with a sampling frequency of at 384 kHz, while the frequency response is between 8 Hz and more than 100 kHz, which is significantly more than the human ear can discern (read: hear) (headphones usually have a "range" between 20 Hz and 20 kHz). In addition, amplifiers remove any interference. It's worth spending on headphones two annual salaries? No, but just wait until some rich person brags about them.
