In a [series of ads](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHYcza8E3g8) for Sennheiser’s Urbanite headphones, a man with a German accent sensually bathes, massages and feeds… a giant ear. “I looove ears,” he begins, wearing a ridiculous costume that is an oversized headphone. “I was born to pamper them,” he continues, now kneeling and giving the ear a bubble bath. Further description of the man-on-ear pampering won’t do it justice. Watch the ad for yourself.
