      Well the STAX LP700s, Audeze LCD-X/3 , Focal Elear (and many others) sound MUCH better than a pair of HD650s, like literally two different worlds. I haven't heard the Sennheiser Orpheus before, but if they truly surpass headphones like Focal Utopia, Audeze LCD-4 and STAX SR-009 (all $4-5000 cans) then I think they're worth every penny to someone who makes $50,000 a day (many people do)

      Doesnt matter. Great headphones would make your mp3s sound amazing too. Headphones dont make you able to hear the difference between MP3 and lossless. Thats snake oil. The human ear cant hear the "lost" part of lossless, its humanly impossible to hesr what mp3s compress. Nevertheless countless ABX tests show even with the best equipment, people cant tell the difference either. The whole FLAC thing is all snakeoil.
      The ABX tests are done with 256kbps (itunes) and not 128kbps, admittedly 128 is a little worse, but even that's scientifically questionable. Great headphones and amps like this will only make 128 mp3s sound better. Thats it. Dont buy the lossless hype, theres no science behind it. ALL the science, from tests to actually human ability to hear, prove MP3s are indistinguishable. What audiophiles "hear" is selection bias.

      MrAhuraMazda187 with denon ah d 7000 (headphone) I can hear difference between 128 and 192 kbit/s starkly. I also say you, that apple aac format (256 kbit/s) sounds better than mp3 320 kbit/s. My further insight: loudspeakers stand no chance against headphones (especially if you observe price-performance ratio)

      @@andreasxfjd4141 i too can hear the difference from 128 and 192. 192 to 256 is a lot harder for me and 256 and lossless is humanly impossible. I taken so many tests on this using my dac, amp and all my high end headphones and to me, 256 is the limit of where the detail just cant be picked up. And science supports me. All the measurements show ALL the "lost" frequencies are well above the human ear. The science just doesn't support lossless. 256 or 330 is just as good.

    And in this comment section, we have everyone who thinks that just because it's headphones, it's not worth $50k. Which is probably right. But saying that you could buy a car or a house doesn't really justify it.
    Chances are, if you're buying these things, the last thing you're worrying about is getting a new car or trying to afford a house.

Bitch it's a digital signal, there's either enough noise to block the bit from coming through or there isn't, you don't need a thousand dollars to get that job done.

    Alright you people, don't think of these as a product, because let's be realistic, Sennheiser didn't develop these to turn a larger profit than their other headphone lines. These are simply a technology demonstrator, like the original Orpheus, a way of sending the message to other high end headphone manufacturers that they are still top dog, and haven't lost their edge. That's it. They cost 50 grand because Sennheiser pulled that number out of their ass, for shock value. And I have no issue with that, as they make plenty of other very good headphones for very good prices. So let them do their thing, as long as they still make good products that are affordable, there is no harm done.

    The thing about going up to 100000Hz is a little bit misleading, because everyone always goes 'well we can only hear up to 20khz' so whats the point? A frequency respone much outside that of human hearing, means the response curve for the portion of sound that we can hear is much flatter and less distorted.

      Like any bottle of wine worth over 10 grand, you don't buy it for that price because it's that good. You buy it for the experience of consuming some of the most exclusive things the world has to offer.

    The problem with most of the comments here come simply from people judging value by what they can afford. Are these the *best* headphones? I don't know, maybe. But if there are people out there that can afford them, and do in fact buy them, that makes them worth it, and all the power to them.

      +Split Edge That's not how appreciation works. Appreciation on technology is not like how it works on cars, coins, comics, etc. Once it's introduced the resell value goes down due to the increased speed at which R&D and new technologies come out.

      +Split Edge These headphones will get less valuable over time as they aren't going to stop making them. The only reason the older pair continues to get more expensive is because they were exclusive. This is a purchase, not an investment. If you buy a pair, you will never get your money back for them.
