A pair of $500 headphones is considered very modest these days? I thought you'd have something like a Porta Pro with Yaxi pads.

Seriously, those are $500 cans with a $400 amp+dac.

I think it’s more telling of how far the needle has moved in regards to spending ceilings in this hobby now.

Insane how much it’s changed in just a decade. The HD650 used to be the cream of the crop in terms of performance, and was probably considered wildly expensive at the time.

It’s practically an entry level Headphone at this point, barring consumer-targeted stuff.
