They're super special electrostatic headphones, so they have to be run with a special type of amplifier, and the one they come with come is absolutely insane, and is a huge part of the cost. Honestly, I bet you could cost cut the whole thing down to under $20k, but you're paying a LOT of money for stuff like the fact that the amplifier case is made of marble and has one of the coolest boot sequences imaginable, where all the tubes and knobs rise out of it and retract back in so the whole thing is seamless. It's very much one of those things that get built when engineers are handed a blank check and told "We don't care what it costs, have fun"
what the fuck
One of my favorite audiophile youtubers, Crinacle, just bought these headphones for 75k. Here's the video if you wanna watch it

Cadillac 16 energy imo. I think part of what's wrong with the world today is all companies suck, have no fun anymore and don't care if things are actually cool. I know it sounds stupid but everything is black, white, or grey on the road and everything is a shapeless blob. Oh you want nice headphones, or computer case, etc? Enjoy our exciting options of black or grey, and fresh new material of cheapest plastic we can make shiny.
