Why would you pay that much for a set of headphones, no wonder americans are poor.

I just went in on a pair of Sennheiser 600s for my laptop and then had to bundle in another 350 for a decent DAC and headphone amp.

Good stuff costs money man. Just the way of the world. Also I am pretty sure America is anything but poor. Maybe fat and consumed by consumerism, but certainly not poor.

Love it when they solve a problem that doesn't exist... I don't mind the cord in any way. And who the hell wants to remember to charge their phone AND headphones?? Neither of which have similar battery lives...

Best way to push sales of a new product is to require it. There may also have been an architecture issue, but I lean towards the first premise.

My Seinheisers are so comfy. However, I think I want to get some Grado headphones next time I buy some quality headphones.

Get the 60's to start - Grado's are super fucking.. I don't even know the word, but the highs are ear piercing and fatiguing for some types of music. Go low end and see if you can deal with it because it's present on basically every pair. Their 'signature' sound. Don't get me wrong - they sound great, but some types of music they're just hard to listen with.

Oh and they're uncomfortable as fuck until you get into the sr325 range..

This thread is now about expensive stuff, poor people fuck off

I have some AKG 701's after owning some Sennheister 595 for a few years. I think a lot of people that say more expensive headphones aren't worth it simply haven't had a chance to use them in a nice environment with lossless music. The difference is very worth it to anyone that likes listening to music.

We have had all the audio fidelity we want, with cords.
