AKG Q350 @ $159.90
Do not let the small frame of the Q460 ($219.90, picture below) fool you. It is by no means small in terms of sound quality. With a sleek design and its sweet lively notes, the Q460 epitomizes the David of sound, beating down the goliaths that stand before it.

The first thing you will notice about the Q460 when you pick it up is the size of the headphones. Small and compact, the Q460 folds inwards making it easy to store away in your bag without taking too much space. Integrating it to your overall style is not too much of a hassle as it comes in three great voguish colors: White, Black and Green.

The bass on the Q460 is full enough to pump your adrenaline but not deep enough to rattle your bones like its cousin, the K518 ($139.90 earphones), but the bass is better than most headphones. It has good depth in its bass sounds and is still balanced enough so as not to drown out the acoustics of the track. Despite that, it is still interesting to note that the bass on Q460 could sound like this without any extra batteries to power it.

However, it more than makes up with its unbelievable range of acoustic sounds. Every string strummed, drum drummed and piano key played sounds almost next to you with the Q460. The sounds sound anything but flat; every crescendo sends raptures through your ears and every note tingles your senses, simply put, the Q460 lets your music tracks come alive. Every note and chime sounds distinct on the Q460 that you could almost pick out every instrument that is played.

The vocals sound fantastic on the Q460 as well. Every word is heard clearly and every shiver of the voice is obvious. The Q460 really puts together the ultimate music experience that you might not find anywhere else. With an reasonable price of about $219.90, the Q460 is one you should go for if you want sleek style to go with beautiful sound.

This review is done by my younger brother, a headphone fanatic, audio slave. If it was me doing the review, i only have one line to say.....IT BLOCKED OUT THE SOUNDS OF MY NEIGHBOUR'S LOVE MAKING AND CATS IN THE HEAT!

If you had a thousand dollars, what would you spend it on?
Would it be the Golden Opulence Sundae that is a scoop of Ecaudoran (simi lai eh) chocolate, along with in-season exotic fruits (durian?), imported chocolate truffles (hope not imported from China), various micro-mints and an orchid made from sugar.

It is then topped with a flower made of white chocolate that is painted and dusted in gold dust. There is also a real gold leaf that has been pounded so thin that it’s edible.

Very value-for-money to the typical Singaporean, the Golden Opulence Sundae comes with a gold spoon that you get to take home as a souvenir.

But Yau Gui(s) to take note that if there is more than one person eating the sundae, you may have extra gold spoons but you only get to keep one (possibly a metal detector at the exit).

Serendipity sells about a dozen a year for wedding proposals, anniversaries and by men trying to impress their women.

Available at Las Vegas in front of Caesar’s Palace.

Or, for $1000 you can have New York’s breakfast staple, a bagel. Topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry (simi?) infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Truffles are said to be an aphrodisiac because their aroma is similar to that of pheromones, which are irresistible to some mammals (the excited dog who greets you at the door is not really because of you).

No longer available, it was created for a social cause.

If you’re not into the $1000 bagel and sundae that adds inches to your waist, you can consider the “I am Rich” iPhone app.

6 from the USA, 1 from Germany and 1 from France have downloaded this iPhone app for $999.99 that does nothing but display a red ruby as an icon on your screen. A status symbol, like it wouldn’t get lost in the average of 30 apps in a person’s phone. 

The developer claims that he’s “got emails from customers telling me that they really love the app.” Adding that they had “no trouble spending the money.”

2 have asked for a refund and Apple has since removed it from the App store.

If I had $1000 to splurge ($1539 to be exact), I’d put my money on the AKG K3003.

Crafted in Vienna from the finest materials like brushed stainless steel, high finish level of leather cover, hypoallergenic ear sleeve and chrome-plated connectors on gold.

Weighing only 10 grams, these luxurious materials aren’t as redundant as gold flakes on a sundae or beagle but they all contribute to durability, safety and performance.

The sound of luxury is about being able to experience music wherever yet similar to being centre stage at a live concert. The Vienna makers will surely understand that, coming from a country that is famous for operas.

The world’s smallest, true three way earphones with each piece hand made, they are exclusively sold at STEREO in Plaza Singapura and Ion.

I’m sure Mozart would approve too.
