Usually, people act rationally and select gadgets for themselves according to their characteristics and at a reasonable price, but there are options that are very different from “normal ones”. We have collected several examples of such gadgets that cost quite a lot and even are insanely expensive, but is it worth buying them? These are not commonplace smartphones trimmed with gold and studded with diamonds, where you can at least somehow justify the cost. If there are owners of such gadgets among readers, it would be great to hear comments on why they made a choice in favor of this device.
Sony DMP-Z1
1 Sony DMP-Z1 device is the most unusual MP3 player that can play music files. It even has a built-in memory of 256 GB (this was never done before, or it was very small), an unusual appearance, and, of course, DAC. For all this, they are asking only $8,000…
HYPERPC GAMING X12
Most probably, gaming PCs will not surprise anyone in this collection. The maximum budget for most people to build a PC is around $1,100, but there are options for the rich who do not want to understand all this for some reason and prefer to buy a ready-made PC right away. GAMING X12 is a factory version of a gaming PC where you can customize the filling, increasing the volume of drives and RAM, if the price seems low. It is packed in a beautiful case. The manufacturer asks $12,000 for the product. Almost the price of a simple new car!
Apple Mac Pro
Did you find the gaming PC expensive? Now you will change your mind and go buy yourself 2 pieces (one in reserve)! An even more expensive factory option is the Apple Mac Pro workstation. The starting price is from $6,000 and up, with a maximum configuration (1.5 TB of RAM) sold at the price of $53,000.
Sennheiser HE1060 Orpheus
How much do you think can headphones cost? What if the headphones are very popular and widespread Sennheiser headphones? It turns out they can cost more than an Apple Mac Pro workstation! The Sennheiser HE1060 Orpheus headphones along with the tube amplifier in the kit were priced at $60,000. They automatically can rank as the most expensive headphones in the world (except for any items made of gold and diamonds)!
Xact Sense Titan
Quadcopters have long been discussed by everyone, and some have even become happy owners of such devices. The little thing is really interesting, allowing you to “fly” and do something useful – to explore the area, to make a photo/video. Huge numbers of various quadcopters and octocopters can be found on the Internet at a price of $10, but there are also very exotic civilian offers, such as Xact Sense Titan. The price of such a drone is $120,000! Perhaps only hoverbikes and UAVs capable of transporting people can be more expensive.
Hoverbike LMV 496
Not satisfied with octocopters? Don’t you want to control it with a remote? Do you want to fly yourself? The French Lezareth company has introduced the LMV 496 hoverbike, which can not only fly, but also ride almost like a regular motorcycle. It costs $567,000.
Sony Crystal LED
As you have already guessed by the name, this is a TV from the Japanese SONY company. It is assembled from panels at the customers’ request. While everyone is discussing 4K, and some are already rushing to buy 8K TVs, SONY has offered 16K right away. The maximum screen size can be 19.2 x 5.4 meters! Surprised? The price will surprise you even more! Just over $5.7 million.
Bugatti La Voiture Noire
This is “just a black car”, when translated from French. It’s pointless to talk about it, everyone has already heard about Bugatti and they know that it is very fast, very cool and very expensive. But do you really know how expensive this car is? The price of a Bugatti La Voiture Noire starts at $12,658,500.
