10 eye-wateringly expensive pairs of headphones
Audiophiles assemble
5 Stax SR-009
How much £3,695
One website selling pairs of the Stax SR-009 listed the silver plated, high purity copper wire as being "Audiophile Grade". We're glad there's wire experts qualifying this.
6 Sennheiser HD800
How much £2,529
From the same company as the Orpheus headphones, the HD800 from Sennheiser are a snip at only £2.5k. Sure the design looks like you're walking around with two flying saucers straddling your ears, but we're sure the sound's decent.
