If you look at things that way,spending $95 on a pair of Grado SR80 is also like $1500,000 on a car when you're upgrading from Apple Earbuds. No one would say SR80 are expensive though.I think $1700 is $1700 no matter what you spend it on.
Somehow people have different concept about what's expensive and what's not. For most people,adding thousands on extras when buying a new car is okay, but spending $200 on a pair of headphones is excessive.
I think it's fine to spend $1700 on cans if you can afford it. After all people splash out a lot more on speakers. one or two thousands might not even get you to high end territory if you are talking about amps. To me the issue is not so much about how expensive they are, but how unproven they are. I get excited about PS1000 just like everyone else too but I want to wait for more comments and listen to them before I part with my cash.
