Could these be the best headphones ever made? Sennheiser is bringing back the legend with an updated version of the Orpheus. The new HE 1060 headphones and HEV 1060 vacuum tube amplifier are designed to redefine high-end audio, featuring a mind-blowing frequency response of 8 Hz to 100 kHz. The level of detail here is insane. Every single pair is hand-built in Germany using more than 6,000 components. We’re talking about gold-vaporized ceramic electrodes and platinum-vaporized diaphragms, all housed in a stunning Carrara marble base.
“The properties of the marble optimally protect the amplifier’s core, and its unique structure turns each Orpheus into an individual work of art,” said Maurice Quarré, director of Select & Audiophile at Sennheiser.
With breathtaking clarity and a luxurious design, the Orpheus remains the ultimate statement in high-fidelity sound. It will be available next year for approximately $55,000.
