A glittering pair of gold headphones could be yours for $199.95.
German headphone specialist Ultrasone has released its Aurum iCans headsets, which are black with 24-carat gold plating.
Ultraphone's iCans range of headphones has been embellished with three new variants, of which the Aurum is the most bling. The others are the Okta, which has a black and chrome colour scheme and the Naos, with black and titanium colouring.
The Okta and Naos cost $139.95 and $159.95 respectively.
All iCans headphones make use of Ultrasone's S-Logic technology that provides "natural sound and reduced sound pressure levels". This allows for a concert-like experience whereby the listener is able to perceive distances and directions and the sound is broad and detached.
They also come complete with a special aluminium can for storage.
Ultrasone was founded in 1990 as a brand for sophisticated, high-class customers.
