Improvement rate on headphones over the years? (alien.top)

Do you guys think a headphone that cost £200+ over 10 years ago is still better than a cheap headphone brand new today?

I feel like the rate of quality increase isn't anywhere near as fast as something like smartphones & the old headphones would still be better? Anyone have any input on this?

Yeah I wish e stats were more common since the only ones I can think of are STAX, Koss, and He-1 lol . I know they are annoying since they require an electrolizer and have a bag on something like it around them to keep off the dust

Audeze, Warwick Acoustics and DCA make estats too.

And boi would I love to get my hands on a Bravura someday. Never has the opportunity to try out estats, and I really wanna.
