hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX without them we wouldn't be here ever wonder what a headphone worth $50,000 sound like obviously we expect a best-in-class build quality a nice yet cool-looking presentation and last but not least the best audio experience on the planet guys meet the Sennheiser Orpheus reborn precision unlocked to the next level the headphones come inside this beautifully crafted Carrera marble with eight hidden decoupled two amplifiers and by just pressing the volume button you're presented with the tubes moving up and reaching their optimal temperatures in just 20 seconds that lets you admire the mechanical initiating sequence while the control knobs coming out and the best part was the headphones revealing themselves at an angle while the glass opens up the tube amplifier stage is designed by a patented ultra-high impulse amplifier stage that is also directly integrated into the ear cups of the headphones this eliminates the need to amplify the alternating voltage to high voltage at the beginning of the cable but rather the gold vaporized ceramic electrodes in the headphones themselves so in simple terms the second amplifier is built inside the headphones what's also interesting was that the system's MOSFET transistors outputs a square characteristic curve that essentially prevents the hardest distortions that occur in most amplifiers with bipolar transistors we were fortunate enough to try out the Orpheus and while the headphones is quite large the ear cups is purposefully tall to provide a perfect seal you put them on and just listen and let me tell you the sound stage is fantastic instrument imaging is by far the most beautiful we've ever heard and it comes to a point where increasing the volume adds an extra layer of satisfaction without even a slight hint of distortion with an immaculate tonal property and it's just very difficult to explain the Orpheus is an experience from start to finish one that makes you realise the perfect way to spoil your ears for the headphones that you'll never own you
