Headphones

Past a certain point, price is mostly just a number. If you want to find your ideal sound signature, it may end up costing more, but that's not because it costs more. In the high end, you find fewer products aiming for a middle ground or an average preference, and more and more it's about the specifics, with unique and even esoteric sound signatures. Some do this tastefully, others not so much. But don't think that just because you get into the $1k plus territory that your experience is necessarily going to be better than if would be if you just happened to find the right fit for your HRTF and preference at a lower price point.
