If money isn't a factor what headphones?

honestly I don't see the point of ultra expensive on-ear headphones. 

 

by the time you drop 2k on the cans and another 1k on the amp aren't you just better off with a proper 5.1/7.1 or even a stereo system?

 

high-end IEMs on the other hand...

 

Probably not, although I would question the logic that ultra expensive anything has a point.

Nothing beats this, for looks:

What is it, where can I buy it and how much will it cost? I want one. You know what, on second thought, I don't even care what it is, I just want one.

Edit: Damn you showing me one off items! I guess I will just have to build one this summer!

Meh, an amp like that would clash with the aesthetics I'm going for right now, so I'd have to pass on that one and go for the girl that comes with HE-1000s.

Then you should change the aesthetics you're going for! (I jest, lol)

That's just a plain diy CMOY encased in resin. Search in instructables.com

 

Was about to build one, but I learned that resin is not an easy thing to work with...

Yeah, I read the blog that the original maker did. It might be kind of cool to do something like this, only encase it in acrylic to keep the look, but easier use.
