OMG. Best reviews ever.
Ok, so I was just link-hopping and somehow came to this page from Electronic Enterprises, a high-end A/V product site. Well, having heard of the Sennheiser Orpheus, I was simply delighted to see these three reviews (likely the same individual)
Original description:
The Orpheus combination offers the audiophile the ultimate in reference sound reproduction. The Best Headphones In The World, that is the unanimous verdict on the Orpheus reached by the international trade press. Audiophile limited edition only 300 systems worldwide.
Keep in mind, it costs just a few cents under $28,000. Yes, you read that right. $28k… headphones.
Now, a taste of the reviews:
My first impressions were one of total awe and delight as I don”t usually get a birthday present from my Nan. The headphones came in a lovely silver box,too which was made of recycled elephant dung.
It did take a while setting up the other thing.There were too many wires and I couldn”t find a slot for the batteries. The manual’’s in German I think.
I did have a problem when I went jogging. Well, more specifically my valet did . He kept complaining about the weight of the portable light display unit.( Which by the way only has a yellowish glow. You”d think that there would be a few more colours!)
I did get round to wiring them to my iPod and gave them a blast. Here are some of my test results
First was Fire Starter by the Prodidgy ( I f@#king love that Keith bloke .He’’s mad for it) 8/10
Next I tried some old foggie music George Michael’’s Careless Wrister. Sounded okayish but the song’’s the same as him, a right w!#ker! 6/10
Staying with old gay geezers, I played Sir Elton’’s Candle in the wind. You know the version for Princess Di. The Piano sonded a bit tinny. 4/10
Finally was the the girl who won that TV show ” Reality Sucks” . I can”t remember her name but she’’s pretty fit and she’’s got her belly button pieced the same as my Mum. 9/10
They sound all right I suppose, but they look really old.
Well done, sir. Well done.
