Well, if you put it like that, then it isnt worthwhile to pay the extra for the truth either. Similarly it wouldnt make sense to pay a few hundred more for an additional driver like many companies do in a BA iem. The fitear parterre has only two drivers but costs more than the w60. Not exactly the same thing but you get my point.
I'm not simply trying to defend them. But i think the thing about audio products for me is that if we look at materials used, the price is rarely ever justified. We shouldnt put a price based simply on how technologically advanced an earphone is because ultimately, its how it sounds that matters.
And to me, the justification would be that, purely based on sound, the difference between the balanced and the truth is as much as that between the answer and the truth. In this case, sonically, the price would certainly be justified then. Personally, i prefer the answer over the truth, so i wouldnt go the truth or balanced route, but if you do like the sound, then it would make sense to go there.
To be fair, while i didnt like it, an improvement occurred in most aspects if the sound with a change from the answer to the truth, and the truth to the balanced, but it gave up something which was importsnt to me, hence my preference.
