In Pictures: The World's Most Extravagant Technology Products

Many technology buying decisions come down to dollars. But what if price weren't a factor? Some of these 16 absurdly expensive products are practical, some are pretentious, and some are preposterous. They're all out of our price range--but hey, window shopping is free, right?

Hair Sheep Headphones

Some people call headphones "cans," but that term doesn't seem appropriate for Ultrasone's $1499 Edition 9 model. The handmade, limited-edition headphones use the company's S-Logic surround-sound system to both immerse you in three-dimensional audio and preserve your hearing (by reducing the actual volume level while maintaining the perceived volume). But much of the rest of the cost apparently goes into making the product look and feel great. The head and ear padding are made of leather from the Ethiopian hair sheep, and the earcups sport chrome nameplates with a black chrome trim. Just how much do you love your neighborhood DJ?
