Recently, there was a rumor that Apple's next generation iPhone would cancel the existing headphone jack to further reduce the size of the body, leaving only one Lightning interface. Although the authenticity of this rumor has yet to be confirmed, it is true that earphone manufacturers have begun to use the Lightning interface as the audio transmission interface, such as the Audeze EL-8 Titanium earphone recently launched on Apple's official website in the US.

EL-8 Titanium is a derivative version of EL-8 released by Audeze on CES2015. In addition to supporting Lightning interface, the headset also has a built-in DSP digital signal processor DAC and audio amplifier. According to the official description of Audeze, the EL-8 Titanium is the world's first headset that fully integrates the Lightning data interface. However, Philips has previously released the Fidelio M2L headset with Lightning interface, and the price is only 250 euros.

The reason why the price of M2L is only 250 Euros is that the price of Audeze EL-8 Titanium, our hero today, is as high as 799.95 Euros. Yes, it is more expensive than a 16GB iPhone 6s, It is a genuine "fever" earphone. But the price of existing Lightning interface earphones is so expensive. Should Apple consider retaining a more general 3.5mm interface?

But this is not the most expensive earphone of Audeze. This manufacturer famous for high-end earphones has a good reputation among enthusiasts. Audeze EL-8 Titanium is only a lower price model in the family. Taking the screenshot of a treasure as an example, does the price tremble?
