Everyone's threshold for headphone pricing is different, but you definitely don't have to spend this much to get good audio. Of course, if I find something I really like, I'm not opposed to it 😎

I got the chance to compare four high-end planar headphones, including the Hifiman Arya Unveiled, Dunu Arashi, Moondrop Cosmo, and the Audeze MM-500. And none of them is a bad headphone... but I definitely have my preferences and put my money where my mouth is.
