Let's start with the Sennheiser Surrounder. Technically, they're not headphones, but at least they're "body-mounted." The Surrounders were designed to offer surround sound for gaming.
Despite the fact that they cost $8,995, Dolce & Gabanna's "Napa Leather Rhinestone Headphones With Crown" were sold out the day after Rihanna posted a tweet with her wearing them.
Sennheiser's Orpheus headphones are attached to a base made with the same marble used by Michelangelo. Those glass vials sticking out are vacuum tubes, and some of the components contain silver, gold, chrome, and platinum. That'll be $55,000, please.
The Audeze LCD-XC are part headphones, part mahogany library. That burly look and their superb sound quality will set you back $1,799. But think of it this way: They're 3% the price of the Sennheiser Orpheus.
Here's another celebrity choice. Lil Wayne's Beats Pro headphones modded with diamonds will strip you of $1 million. Presumably, they sound the same as the regular $400 Beat Pro.
Here is a piece of audiophile nostalgia: The Jacklin Float Model II electrostatic headphones look insane, but they sound great, apparently.
The "electrostatic" part means that these headphones use super-thin diaphragms (the parts that move to actually create sound). The film vibrates to make sound when a static electric charge surge through them.
