Practicality.

Earbuds that are 12 years old.

Headphones that leak sound, low ohm.

New IEMs, for house. Better isolation.

New IEMs, cheaper, for biking and gaming.

New planar IEMs for home sound quality. Too expensive to bike with.

New headphones that sound better, high ohm.

Wouldn't the most practical solution be to own one pair of do-it-all headphones?

If you could get iems with better soundstage than open backs that are also $200 but sound like $1000 then yeah, I'd get that and nothing else. The closest thing to that would be my $159 planars but they'd fall off with heavy exercise, I suppose a cable swap could work but they're heavy to begin with... and they don't sound like $1000.
