Hasselblad H4D-60
It has a 60.1 megapixel sensor. Yes, take some time to soak that in. But mere megapixel count has never been the big case for getting a Hasselblad camera.
It’s the sheer quality of pictures, in terms of colour reproduction and crispness of lines and details, that no other DSLR comes close to. The great part is that it looks super-stylish with its futuristic yet ergonomic design. Want to spend the big bucks and get a camera that makes most professional cameras seem like a child’s toy? This is it.

Stax SR-009 Earspeakers
Audiophiles can get really technical, when it comes to pure audio reproduction. Sure you can hear the right notes with the right depth on most high-end headphones, but when you want the music listening experience to feel like a live performance, to the extent that you can sense the vibration of the acoustic strings or the depth of the mellow bass in the background, this is exactly where you spend your top dollar. The sheer audio resolution that’s produced by these earspeakers (they are simply too good to be referred to as headphones), will make every music listening session seem like a wholesome experience.
