Out of this world

Aural bliss with the Sennheiser Orpheus HE1060

Orpheus, the father of song in Greek mythology, was said to charm even stones with his divine music. The Sennheiser HE 1060 headphones bear the same name, and they definitely live up to their moniker.

Groundbreaking in their legendary first iteration in 1991, the latest Orpheus headphones are once again set to revolutionise the industry. The original 0.9-micron gold diaphragms have been upgraded to 2.4-micron platinum diaphragms, which translate to better sound quality.

Response time and clarity get a boost with in-built amplifiers, set in Carrara marble for reduced distortion The result is perfect balance, vivid spatiality and precise fidelity – Orpheus plays you music the way it was recorded, not the way it thinks you might like it to. And you feel like you’re right there, lost in the many layers of music.

With a frequency response that extends far from what humans can perceive, and an astronomical €50,000 (RM222,000) price tag, the Orpheus is in its best sense, out of this world. No surprises there.
