This time last year I was your everyday music listener who payed very little attention to headphones or bit rate. I liked music and I didn't feel that quality mattered all that much.
My dad then bought some PX100s because he had some £25 ebay voucher, and he wouldn't stop showing them off to me, praising how good they sounded. I listened to them and I immediately saw what all the fuss was about. Not to be outdone I spent £50 on SR60s, which completely blew me away.
However, the jump from everyday phones to the PX100s was bigger than the jump from the PX100s to the SR60s, even though the 'jumps' both cost £25.
My question is, do you think that the more you spend, the less marginal utility (the utility for upgrading to a new pair) you get, effectively making £1000 headphones financially unviable.
I am speaking from never heard anything better than my SR60s, and I am sure that £1000 headphones sound fantastic, but my point is do they sound 20 times better than £50 phones?
Just a thought I had one day.
