Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro

The Rolls-Royce of earbud headphones, the UE-10 Pro is meant for audio professionals but will give you a superior sound experience with your home or portable music, video, or DVD player. Each pair is custom made, so your first step is to visit a doctor (there's a list of audiologists on the site) for an impression of your ear canals. Ultimate Ears then uses those molds to make the headphones, which you can further customize by choosing among 12 colors for the earpieces and 5 colors for the cord (46 or 64 inches long), and the company will engrave your name on the metal case. At $900, these headphones are decidedly for the sonic connoisseur and not for people prone to losing things. But if you have the dough, they'll certainly put the "oh" in your audio.
