I mean it all comes down to personal preference. I mean I personally can't tell much of a difference between $200 and $500 cans, but if you're an audiophile Audeze makes some of the best headphones. For me DT770s or AKG Q701s are good enough,great even, but my brother considers those mid-tier...
Yeah it's pretty dissapointing. Especiallly because there's an audiophile section on this forum. Audeze are known for some of the best cans. I mean I personally would probably never buy anything over $300, but this thread is super click bait.
