I was curious, so it seems a lot is high end materials , silver , titanium etc but also the frequency response is 120 kHz. for comparison the sony 1000xm6 is 4 - 40,000 Hz. seems over 40k most adults cant hear shit, this would be for the audiophiles that can hear it or make like they can.
Link for the curious

Sony giving their audio designers a hands on project to design and build in Japan.
And to showcase their ability to create a headphone with everything thrown into it.

As for the sound, up to you. Deff needs a hard listen first. E.g. I prefer the Audeze LCD-X - warmer, more organic and open.
Esoteric, so if you don't have the $$$ amp, dac,, etc to drive these with flac, dsd, etc music, wouldn't bother.

Wow, these headphones are incredibly expensive! I'm curious, do they actually let us hear sounds from space?

I have it. Yes if you listen carefully, you can hear the aliens from the outer space, and your inner self whispering.
