1) Meet Sennheiser HE 1 with Tube Amplifier
Sennheiser HE 1 ' striking design marries form to function.Its amplifier sits on a housing crafted from glass, and a solid block of Carrara marble.This luxurious natural stone-the type made famous by Michelangelo's Renaissance sculptures-lends beauty but also prevents structure-borne noise.To create a visually stunning design, control dials are painstakingly crafted to the highest quality.Each dial is milled from a single piece of bars before being plated with chrome.This is music turned into an object.

There are many applications where monitoring on headphones is the only practical solution- for example, recording on location, mixing at home late a night.It 's not really ideal, but it is possible, with l little practice and experience, to become accustomed to the essential differences between headphone and loudspeaker auditioning.If you want to know more about mixing on headphones, Martin Walker's article in SOS January 2007 is a good starting point.This is all very well for stereo mixing.However, If you want to work in surround sound and loudspeaker aren't a viable option, what can you do? Until now the only solution was to monitor in conventional stereo and hope for the best - but help is now at hand!

3) SONY MDR-R10
Information on the SONY MDR - R10 is hard to find.
I am not aware of any major print magazine review or webzine review. Surprisingly, there are few owners of the R10 on either Head-fi or Headwize and even fewer reviews.The R10 is a serious attempt at creating the best headphone in the world.You'd think there would be more R10 owners in our community.This expose is my attempt to try to fill in the knowledge gap on R10, so please forgive its pretentious length.
The Sony R10 is positioned as the "Ultimate Headphone", and as an individual component indeed constitutes the most expensive headphone ever produced.yes, the phones do cost more, but you have to buy the whole system-headphones and amp-together.
Price Rs 162437 $2500.
4)Hifiman HE 6
The HE - 6 is a best to drive, and most headphone amplifiers, including some of my favorites like the Burson HA -160 don't have enough juice to really energize the HE -6 to its full potential.The new Burson soloist gets close, but still not completely there.Few amps were powerful enough, so Hifiman bit the bullet and crafted an amp to fully exploit the HE-6's capabilities.It 's called the EF-6($1,599); it has two headphone jacks a standard 6.3mm one, and a four-pin XLR headphone jack(for use with the HE-6).
The EF-6 also has two stereo inputs and separate stereo outputs that can be hooked up to another amplifier to drive the speaker.EF-6 delivers up to 5 watts per channel to the HE-6
most high-end headphones are perfectly happy with one-tenth the power.I used the EF-6 with all sorts of full-size headphones, and it always brought out the in each one.
Price Rs 84402 $1299.
