Of all of the "trendy" headphones at the Apple Store I just went to, I liked the new Klipsch ones most.

a cable entirely made of gold!!!

 I think you are dreaming, have you notice how expensive gold is today?
Anyway, only the connecter are gold plated because aluminium will oxidize when in contact with metal. The wire are made of copper, and the high quality cable are the oxygen free copper cables and even then there are grades within the OFC cables.

A somewhat related question: Does the use of gold actually make a difference in sound quality? I know it's used in a lot of audio cables but is it more noticeable than say tin?

 

Um. I am fully aware that the entire cable is not gold... 

 
I know the 3.5mm jack is gold plated and sometimes they use gold in other aspects of audio wiring because of its ability to  minimize signal change but I was wondering if it was actually worth it or if it was just a marketing ploy.

Why has no one mentioned the HD-25? There great portable headphones, and now with the new Amperior coming out, they might be prefect!

You could wait for the V-Moda M-100's to come out. They're to be around $300, with a design like the Crossfade's but sound more like the M-80s.
