Audio-Technica is making just 10 of these $6,800 Darth Vader headphones.

If you’re headed to Star Wars Celebration in Japan later this month, Audio-Technica has announced a pricey souvenir for you, as spotted by Notebookcheck. Unlike its Star Wars-themed wireless earbuds, only 10 of these ATH-AWSW DV headphones, featuring wooden ear cups adorned with images of Darth Vader made using traditional Japanese crafting techniques, will be available.

Each pair is priced at 990,000 yen, or around $6,817.

<em>The headphones feature 53-millimeter drivers and are compatible with hi-res audio sources, but feature no wireless capabilities.</em>
<em>The left ear cup features Darth Vader’s helmet.</em>
<em>The right ear cup features a silhouette of Darth Vader with his glowing lightsaber.</em>
<em>The ATH-AWSW DV come packaged in a wooden storage box featuring Star Wars design elements, and include an aluminum headphone stand.</em>
