Headphones for $ 1,350 - a necessity or an excess?

    Back in August of this year, one of the hara-people wrote about professional headphones for 1,150 "evergreens" (yes, they still turn green, no crisis is a hindrance). But now there are even more interesting (read - expensive) headphones, the price of which is $ 1,350. What is it and why is it necessary? Let's try to figure it out.

    So, on January 14th of this year, NAMM , known as a brand producing exclusive audio equipment, introduced the flagship model of its headphones, called the Ultimate Ears 18 Pro Custom Monitors .

    The appearance of the headphones is very unusual, the price is even more so. Experts say that these headphones are capable of playing the highest quality music - no other headphones are capable of this. As you can see from the figure, these headphones are not for the whole head, as professional headphones are usually presented, but “plugs”.

    Despite the size, each “plug” includes 2 low-frequency speakers (subwoofers), 2 speakers for mid-frequency sound, 2 speakers for high-frequency sound (everything is written correctly here - each headphone has TWO speakers, and not one for each headphone) .

    In addition, these are the first headphones where several separate audio channels are implemented. Interestingly, the headphones are compatible with the vast majority of devices, including those that support wireless audio transmission.

    In general, for audiophiles who have no financial problems, the Ultimate Ears 18 Pro Custom Monitors fits perfectly.

    By the way, it would be interesting to know - are you ready to pay such money for headphones, even if they are of such high quality as these?
