Ever consider spending $1000 on a pair of headphones? No, wait — not just headphones, but a pair of those uncomfortable, silly-looking earbuds? Well, Scott Burnside of “AUDIOPHILE ON” says you may want to consider it. His review of the “Final Audio Design Piano Forte VIII” depicts it as a rather impressive listening experience. At such a steep price, one would hope they would be.
They are made of solid brass, too. In case you hadn’t guessed, I’m not a big fan of earbuds. In my experience, they can actually make my ears hurt, and they just seem awkward. Regular headphones have flaws, too, but I never expect a “perfect” listening experience. I guess that’s why I’m not an audiophile. Still, if anyone out there wants to buy me a pair of Piano Fortes, go right on ahead.
