10 eye-wateringly expensive pairs of headphones
Audiophiles assemble

7 Grado PS1000
How much £1,699
Grado's magnum opus, streamlined and designed by engineers with decades of knowledge and experience. These are no-frills headphones with the emphasis entirely on sound quality, as you can probably tell from the lack of aesthetic pleasure.

8 Audeze LCD-3
How much £1,599
These headphones are expressly vegan, swapping leather for Zebrawood on the stylish cups. Expect them to become standard issue at psytrance raves.
