The Samsung XL457857 is the red headed step child of high end headphones.

I would say a jh-13 at least in terms of price is a baseline high end item but sound wise it will compete with anything

The Ed9 has the most headcrushing bass.

This is like asking which of the latest Porche, Ferrari and Aston Martins are baseline super-cars.

It's the Altima. Four door. 2.5 liter engine.

I thought we all knew that.

this
and it is all relative

but a lot of the people here look at high-end as a process of acquiring more and more expensive (and oftentimes better sounding equipment)
you're approaching the logarithmic concept of price-to-performance ratio as represented by f(x)=x^10 from the wrong direction of the x axis

x^10 is an increasing polynomial with a positive second derivative... i'm sure that is not what you're trying to describe.

I think (((((x factorial)factorial)factorial)factorial)(Graham's Number factorial)) comes closer to describing the indescribable.
An exercise in futility akin to trying to describe colour to a blind man.

What? The first derivative is not positive definite on R...

And OP: The answer to that is a very individual thing that is highly dependent on your wallet.

unless! of course the blind man is trying to count colors on a n-dimensional hypercube.... thanks for the math trivial...

i know.. it's the second derivative that is related to curvature though, not the first derivative.

Maybe you are speaking about this, dreamwhisper:



Even so I don't know what the hell the rest are saying...
