As reported by ‘The Verge’ Onkyo at CES 2017 unveiled their new diamond headphones that are surely meant for the crème de la crème. These exquisite diamond headphones have been priced at approximately $100,000. The basic idea behind these headphones is to just provide another way for the elite class to “make a statement”.

The headphones are made using real diamonds and not Swarovski crystals or even glass for that matter. Each set is handcrafted keeping the buyer’s need in mind and the designs may range from $80,000 to $100,000 depending on customization choices and the size of diamonds used.

Each of these headphones contains 20 karats of diamonds, which are rated between G-H on GIA’s color scale (nearly colorless) and between VVS-VS for clarity. We all know that usually in over-ear headphones the right ear is marked with a red ring. Now, keeping up with the over-the-top theme of these fabulous headphones, to mark the right ear Onkyo has studded the right ear portion with rubies. Other components of the headphone are made with stainless steel and white leather which is believed to be “Ostrich look-alike leather”.

Even the 3.5mm headphone cord is studded with diamonds which act as buttons for control. Not much is known about the sound quality yet but all we know is that even if you somehow have $100,000 to spare for just a pair of headphones, getting yourself a pair isn’t gonna be easy as they already have a long waiting list.
