Headphones Beats By Dre and Graff Diamonds $ 1000 000 By the way, these headphones, which cost 1mln. bucks, among other things, released in 1 copy, the creator is a certain jewelry company Graff Diamonds and naturally with the assistance of Dre Beats. No one knows how the sound of Beats By Dre and Graff Diamonds is worth $ 1,000,000, and almost nothing about their sound is mentioned, but the way they look gorgeous is the moment that deserves special interest. For the first time these most expensive headphones in the world "saw the light" on the head of the soloist of the group LMFAO, during a colorful performance with Madonna. By the way, the performance itself and the song that was being performed were not discussed at all, but the headphones Beats By Dre and Graff Diamonds with the price tag of $ 1,000,000 made a special sensation not only on the Internet, but even in the music news. The whole price of this "accessory" is in diamonds of 114 carats. The Beats are made in beautiful white color. Of the special "bells and whistles" - ear cups, soft pads that do not allow you to sweat your ears. Although, I think that a person who has headphones for $ 1,000,000 on his head does not sweat at all. Also read: how to choose headphones for TV Amplifier Getting decent sound requires a complex approach to selecting each component of the entire Hi-End system. Nevertheless, the heart of any system intended for sound reproduction is the amplifier. You can spend thousands of dollars to buy speakers, headphones and turntable, but with a mediocre amplifier, these investments can hardly be called appropriate. It is on its quality that the overall picture of the sound depends, the "juiciness" of the sound, the most accurate transmission of harmonics. The world-famous industrial designer Andrea Pivetta considers her weakness to be an excessive love of sound. That's why in mid-2010, he introduced the Pivetta Opera One amplifier with an unusually precise sound transmission. The weight of this "acoustic monster" exceeded 500 kilograms, and the cost - $ 650,000. Deciding that a capacity of 20 kilowatts may not be enough, Andrea started developing the second generation of his creation. At the end of 2013, the elite electronic amplifier Opera Only was introduced, significantly exceeding its predecessor in almost all respects. Inside this one and a half-tator monster are located 6 toroidal transformers, the total power of which is 30 kW. As a cooling system, 12 coolers are used. The output power of Pivetta Opera Only is 80 000 watts per channel with the possibility of two- and six-channel connection. The use of aviation aluminum, several kilos of gold and hand-assembled was estimated at $ 2.2 million. If the area of ??your country house is measured by several football fields, Pivetta Opera Only can become a really good acquisition. Vinyl player At the end of the XIX century, at the time of the birth of the history of sound recording, the gramophone offered by Emil Berliner became a real breakthrough on the way to popularization of music among the population. In the 21st century, despite the dominance of digital sound, many engineers still pay much attention to analogue media. Vinyl player is not only alive. He is one of the main attributes of this audiophile. Having bought the Design Haus Dereneville VPM 2010 for $ 650,000, you not only get the reference sound, but also a lot of pleasure from the interaction with this 60 kilogram miracle of engineering thought. The Dereneville VPM 2010 model not only establishes common audio interfaces, but also has a convenient capacitive screen for more comfortable control (remote adjustment is provided). MP3 player The company iRiver in the world of portable players takes a worthy place in the list of leaders. Deciding that the already decent sound of their products for the user would not be enough, the administrative elite decided to create the Astell & Kern brand. The image branch iRiver existed on the market for only a few years, but Astell & Kern products already managed to get the title of "the most expensive mp3 player" of mass production. The Astell & Kern AK240 is reliably protected by an impressive duralumin case. The player is equipped with AMOLED touch screen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules and has a good indicator of battery life. Astell & Kern AK240 not only supports DSD audio, which is highly accurate, but also processes audio with a separate chipset without conversion. And all this with a frequency range from 5 to 64,000 HZ with a maximum amplitude of 120 dB. For the ability to convert a digital signal into an analog one, be prepared to say goodbye to the amount of $ 2,495. Finally. Using precious stones and resorting to noble metals, sound equipment manufacturers can create devices whose cost can far exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Before buying expensive equipment, it's worth remembering that music is listened to with ears, not with eyes.
