Orpheus HE 1060/ HEV 1060 is the latest upgrade of Sennheiser’s highly engineered electrostatic headphone system. It was hand-crafted in Germany using over 6,000 components including gold-vaporized ceramic electrodes, platinum-vaporized diaphragms, and Carrara marble amplifier housing from Italy — the same used by Michelangelo; according to theverge.com.

The Orpheus has maintained its lead of high performance sound system and engineering. “It is able to deceive our senses in a completely unique way, creating the perfect illusion of being directly immersed in the sound,” said Daniel Sennheiser, CEO of Sennheiser. Although not portable, it is meant to sit comfortably atop your table and give you acoustic excellence. Weather in use or not, one is bound to revel in its beauty and aesthetics; each of the amplifier’s controls are created using a single piece of brass, and once you turn the headphones on, the quartz glass vacuum tubes rise up from the marble enclosure and emit their characteristic glow.

Even from its debut in 1990, the first Sennheiser Orpheus was priced $16,000 (N3, 187,200 in Naira) and is priced around $30,000 (N5, 976,000) today. For a system designed for the highest performance possible, we can be confident the outrageous price will translate to a sonic experience that is unparalleled.
