These $500 headphones utilize special tech that sounds incredible

Audeze, a company that makes high-end headphones, recently came out with its line of Sine headphones - and they sound absolutely amazing.

That's partly because they use a special type of audio driver, which is the part that actually produces sound.

That technology does make the headphones expensive. They go for $450 for the traditional headphone cable model, or $500 for the model with both the traditional cable AND a Lightning cable.

But again, they sound fantastic.

And as far as headphones go, they're also future-proof, at least if you're an iPhone user. That's because you can opt to buy the model that comes with an Apple Lightning cable. If Apple were indeed to ditch the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 onwards, a Lightning cable would be a pretty good thing to have!

They also come with a regular headphone cable, so you're covered even if Apple keeps the headphone jack on its subsequent iPhones.

At the same time, the Audeze Sine aren't for everyone, especially if you often listen to music out on busy city streets, as they don'y block out external noise well at all. In a weird twist, the reason why they don't block out noise very well is part of the reason they sound so good.

Here's what I thought about the Audeze Sine headphones.
