The vast majority of people who enjoy music on the go think nothing of jamming into their ears those plastic buds that come with portable music players. Apple even tried to create some cachet for its iPod buds by making them white. Nice try, Apple. For real cachet we turn to German manufacturer Ultrasone, which knows how to do cachet. Its headphones are plated with ruthenium. The sound is delivered using neodymium magnets and hand-wound oxygen-free copper. Your ears are caressed by Ethiopian sheepskin leather.
