I remember the times these cans were priced way cheaper. This is a fantastic rip off across all brands.

I’m curious if the chi-fi market will take over headphones in the coming years.

IEMs are a bit easier to be competitive at, not having to worry about acoustic effects of ear/head shape, ergonomics/comfort is much simpler with IEMs, etc.

But clearly good headphones are still working on a massive margin.

For me, it already has: more choice, better quality, unmatched comfort - and that's fully leaving aside the costs.

My favorite brands are SIVGA and LINSOUL.

It’s already getting there because the margins on things like planar headphones and anything else novel has been completely bonkers
