This is quite an interesting, bling generation, MP3 product which is retailing for a staggering $19,999.99.

As you’ll often hear me say on here “less is sometimes more” and alas that is the case with this product. Nonetheless, it’s an unusual luxury item and appears to be one of the first of it’s ilk.

This product is currently retailing on Amazon and has the following spec:

• World’s most expensive MP3 player is cast in 750 gold (18 karat) with 63 diamonds (one-karat)

• Large, 1 GB memory holds loads of tunes (MP3, WMA, WAV, ASF, and OGG formats)

• Two-color OLED screen displays ID3 tags, FM radio station info, and equalizer visualization

• Designed with two headphone jacks for sharing music with a friend

• Measures 2.95 x 1.26 x 0.63 inches (WxHxD)
