The Rosson Rad Zero is probably the most beautiful headphone I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. It’s a piece of art, and it sounds as good as it looks.
Some Gear Mentioned (some links affiliate):

If the Rosson sounds like something you want to try, but at a little more affordable price, I picked one up on trade recently that I have up for sale: head-fi.org/classifieds/rosson-rad-0-price-drop.47881
