LIH, I agree. I have a bit of technology fetish myself. It would be cool to find a set somewhere to try them out. I suppose if you are in the music business or have a highly sensitive ear, there could be some value. Many people don't have a good enough ear to be able to tell the difference between high-end, and 'platinum' quality.

Then again, if they but are as light, small, and as comfortable as a pair of ear buds and have high-end noise cancelling, like in the QCs, I could be converted.
