I'm drooling. those look like pure earsex.

i've had a pair of sennheiser wireless for 10 years that just recently started crapping out on me. I would not buy another brand. It's one area where quality can still reign over price.

Good speakers/heaphones are the finest of luxuries I would spend a years salary on them for sure some day. No kids to put through college - check. I'd live in a furnitureless house for those things! Maybe even give up smoking. lol

I know what you mean.

Wow! The rolex's of the headphone world!

While I'm not really an audiophile myself, I suspect @giftedgaia would drool over these! Lol
