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?

The important part of headphones doesn’t advance as fast as technology and construction elements. A dac will advance but a tube amp or well made drivers will probably still be great.
