Ultimate Ears recently released what many are considering to be the best earphones ever. The only snag is at $1,200 a pair, you’ve got to be wealthy to even consider them.

Without getting to technical, I’ll only say that an appointment with an otolaryngologist is necessary to accommodate the one-of-a-kind custom fitting that molds to your ear canal only.

If you are really interested, the model is the UE-11; and yes, you can use them to listen to your ipod. So, if you’re still one the fence about what you want to spoil yourself with this X-mas, consider Ultimate Ears’ UE-11.
