For that price it should do the laundry too!

Numerous firms have started to sell consumer electronics gear at astonishing prices. Nokia has been selling a premium cell phone that goes for thousands, Sony is about to launch an entire line of CE products so expensive you will need to mortgage your house just to get a TV. Well now a German firm has introduced a set of headphones that sell for $3,000.

Yes you read that correctly, three thousand dollars for a set of headphones. Apparently the sound quality is out of this world, but I can't imagine paying more than $20 for a pair of headphones, no matter how good they are. Fortunately, the firm seems to know that the market for a product priced this high is small because they have apparently only produced 999 units.
