For $120k, there better be a slide sample of Dr. Dre’s removed aneurysm cells built into the headband.
Haha... I'm not sure how to respond to this comment. That would be unique.

That's been on the website for a long time, not sure if it always shows up.
They have been there for at least two years. I wonder if it's a good natured jab at Tyll. I might be overthinking it.

It’s priceless art like the peel off Banana on the cover of The Velvet Underground’s first album.........cans of soup representing consumerism.

Those headphones are a classic signpost from 2010 when all of a sudden headphones became mainstream. The general public unknowingly were given the Dr Dre gateway drug, causing kids all across America to spend their allowances on gear. The pages of Head-Fi were then filled with new comers speaking about the perfection of the M50s.

That headphone is symbolic of a style of progression in consumerism by the species..........hence worth the price, maybe double that price......maybe priceless?

What’s crazy is it doesn’t appear to be a joke. I mean, if you go through the buying process, it actually brings up the Apple Pay payment screen, ready to charge $119K to your credit card. It seems like the transaction would actually go through if you did it accidentally (or intentionally).

Not only are you able to buy it, we'll hop on a plane ourselves to deliver it (COVID permitting). Truly the VIP experience.
