Earphones Made of Brass. What Next?

That’s right. Earphones made of brass—the same brass used to make trumpets to be specific. If you’re going to introduce a headphone in a market flooded with tens of thousands of models, you better be creative.

Master & Dynamic, a New York City-based “premium audio company obsessed with sound and creativity,” has introduced the ME05 ($199) featuring titanium-coated 0.3-inch drivers with neodymium magnets, tangle-resistant rubberized cables, changeable silicone ear tips (four sizes included), and an in-line remote control/ microphone (iPhone 3GS or later). The body of the ’phones are precision-machined from solid brass and laser etched with mirrored accents that reflect light.
