World's Most Expensive Headphones: Sennheiser HE1

When the track's so good it couldn't sound better unless you were inside the speaker… well, the world's priciest headphones might be able to do just that for you. Not literally, but the Sennheiser HE1s have just hit the Middle Eastern market and are priced at a whopping 50,000Euro (AED196.857).

So why does it cost that much? The electrostatic headphone system uses innovative technology (an amplifier concept that combines a tube amplifier with a transistor amplifier) with luxurious materials and high quality craftsmanship. Plus check out the fancy packaging it comes in in the gallery...

"It is able to deceive our senses in a completely unique way, creating the perfect illusion of being directly immersed in the sound," Co-CEO, Andreas Sennheiser, says.

Perhaps Paris Hilton will want to switch out her blinging Beats for these.
