MartinLogan is known for making high-end speakers, so it came as a little bit of a surprise when I saw that the company's just-announced Mikros 70 reference in-ear headphones were priced at a fairly modest $149.95.

I haven't tried the earphones out but MartinLogan describes them as, "Inspired by the sonic clarity and detail of our legendary electrostatic speakers and designed by MartinLogan's in-house team...[These] headphones deliver [the] realism, richness, and purity of sound that MartinLogan's discerning customers have come to expect."
