Haven't been around much lately but dropping in to see where the OAE1 is currently at I find this comment sobering, thank you!
Was having the piano tune the other day, it's an upright Yamaha hand assembled in Japan and looking at used prices, which hover around $3k-$5k, I now find it impossible to accept today's escalating prices on headphones considering the amount of work that goes into most musical instruments... Does not compute. lol

Surely one of the best comments here ... . As with everything moderately technical, be that cars, bikes, Hifi and Headfi ... its (mostly) made to appeal to the male ego and priced accordingly.

Wow, if that's true, there are not good news.
