Sennheiser Electronic GmbH & co., "Orpheus" or HE1, 2018, electrostatic stereophonic headphones; state-of-the-art electronics encased in Carrara marble that promise to be "the best headphones in the world."

"In 1991 we created the best headphones in the world. We called them Orpheus. Now, we have done it again." Price-point = $52,000.

The ultimate musical interface, which the Sennheiser Orpheus promises to be, is appropriately named after the mythological figure who essentially invented music.
