That seems excessive. If it helps I tend to look into basic but high(ish) end equipment when venturing into new territory then buy in. Not everyone needs $3000 setups and the rate of return between this ~$500 setup and that $3000 one may be smaller than it looks.

Eeeeeeey

Yup we basic AF! Doesn’t make the setup not advanced in comparison to other setups or not worth while though!

Basic bitch club!

Oh no! I already have too many expensive hobbies let’s just pray this doesn’t turn into another one!

Definitely! There’s much to be said for buying a popular gear setup. Most of the time it’s a good price to performance ratio!

First impressions after moving from the Sennheiser RS120 to this setup: I'm blown away by the sound stage being so much wider. I owned a set of Sennheiser HD558 for years until they stopped working so I had completely forgotten what open back headphones sound like.

The Magni and Modi have been something I've wanted for a long time but I would never justify the price of both the stack and the headphones as a regular purchase so I asked my wife for them this Christmas and she came through!

I definitely am happy with all three products and will stick with them for a while, the next update will be a pair HD8xx most likely.
