The description of these Python and Goat skin covered oddities follows:

"Parisian accessory label, HOON, just collaborated for the first time with the young French audio firm, The Perfect Unison, in creating a line of luxury headphones. A balanced mix of high technology and stylish design, these python skin covered headphones are made-to-measure and packed with the newest innovation in acoustic, then packaged in traditional French craftsmanship.

The natural flex of the headphones are provided by nine layers of birch wood, then covered with python skin on the exterior side and supple goat skin on the inside closest to the head for maximum comfort. Ear pieces are crafted from polished carbon fiber that is varnished strictly by hand."

I think the beats are the most ridiculous headphone made.

Better materials and build than HD800,could sound better as well.

I,d get a pair to take my poodle for a walk

 

[shasty]

Hd-800, in many ways, can also look as ridiculous as this to an ordinary viewer

^The HD800s have always looked beautiful to me!

Well the boutique is really close to my home. Should go to audit it next week and post some rough "review" back here

Anyway, I don't think it will beat HD-800...
Sennheiser had chosen the materials for HD-800 to make it mass-producible. I think there is some kind of compromise in sounding quality, but must be acceptable.

Please do and bring back specs.

It likely isn't going to sound nearly as good as the hd-800 but people don't buy $300+ purses for their ability to store things.

I don't think that I would consider 5000 units per year "mass production". On top of that, I am pretty sure that senn chose the materials in the phone in order to increase dampening and decrease vibration.

On topic, the Senn surrounder and any of the Jecklin/ergo models are more ridiculous for sure.

I'm trying to look for info on "the perfect unison" headphone company, apparently they used 30mm mylar Ultrasone drivers for a limited 50 unit production run for their "Parra x" headphones. I hope they hijacked some Edition 8 or Pro 900 drivers for the Hoon x and if so, maybe with a little luck it'll sound about as good as the Edition 8 and of course be lighter and look like a purse on your head.

Here's the Parra x
