Sennheiser Orpheus : World's costliest headphones !!

Greetings !!
Now that CES 2016 had came to an end, there were many awesome tech's to see. In that way was a "what the hell!!" priced headphones from senheiser. So senheiser is a world renowned audio giant in make quality audio equipments and especially when it comes to headphones they stand out of the blue. So at CES sennheiser came up with their "redesigned" glory headphones called the "Orpheus". To make a note, I mentioned the term " redesigned " because these are not the first of a kind headphones to enter the market. Sennheiser already made the Orpheus back in 1991 named as the "Electrostatic Orpheus HE90 / HEV90. So why did they discontinue?? Because the Orpheus had some complex technology involved and it was not possible for the audio giant at that time to perfect the headphones. But things are not the same now !! In 2016 the prodigy son returns with the newly redesigned Orpheus HE 1060 . So what sets the Orpheus apart from other headphones?? Here is a breakdown.. The Orpheus are one of a kind of headphones with comes with a preamplifier and these are hybrid tube amps instead of the usual solid state amps. So why? Why is some old school tech worth some much penny?
The solid state transistor amps which come these days has certain advantages over the tube amps like, they consume less power and they do not heat up a lot. But solid states lack the original, warm, rich sound which is only produced by the old school tube amps. So when you wear the Orpheus you that 360 degree surround sound effect. For instance, if you are listening to an orchestra, you feel like the violins playing at the back with the trumpets up in the front. I mean you feel like you are physically present inside the theatre. So why did Orpheus draw most of the attention?? It's because of its price. These pair of headphones costs you an insane 3.3 million INR ($50,000) price tag. That's an BMW 5 series man !! So who is this for?? Definitely audiophiles, some cozy, luxurious, millionaire audiophiles. So that's a wrap. If you want a more detailed explanation then I got you covered with my YouTube video explaining the same. So feel free to check them out.
