Ultrasone edition 8, she wore it in her 'Goodbye Happiness' music video.



Here's the source .

not a fan of headphones, but man, if I were to convert it to my own currency, it will take 3-4 mths of my salary. 128,000 yen!!Even my friend's headset worn by Tae-Yang from Big Bang is not even a quarter of that amount.

But I'll have to say, classy Utada

Wow, I know how expensive headphones can be, but I have to say the price on these really surprised me! And I though Beats were overpriced...

Yeah she own several very expensive earphones and headphone. Wow its around $1,2k now? It was like 1,8-2k $ i think.
Her monitors for the WILDLIFE concert the UE11 pro cost $1,150,-.
she also had UE4/7 pro? I forgot but they are also expensive for their time. :P

well, i think that is a necessity for the job...

and $ is not much of a worry to her anyways... USD1,150... takes a 0.0001% hit on her personal savings?

In the music industry people look for a flat and accurate frequency response rather than "good" sound. You WANT to hear all the errors and mashing frequencies and whatnot in the music so you can fix 'em. Now as a general rule, the higher the cost for audio equipment, the higher the quality. So, headphones for $1,000+ are really quite the standard for professionals in the industry.

You think those headphones are expensive? Take a look at the monitors Ted Jensen uses in his studio; the mastering engineer that mastered her recent albums. http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/207/index.html

$11k a pair. And yeah, he got five of 'em..
