hi, oh yes first of all value is key to everything. if something comes in at a certain price then mentaly i will be comparing it to other tihngs at around that same price point. i think you really have to or frankly everything thats cheaper would just get panned because even the greatest value cheaper things, stuff really excelent for their price, just isnt going to compete with things that cost a few hundred.
as for bias, well we all have it. as to how much is personal preference, how much is simple how we each hear things, how a brain interprets things, how our ears detect vibration, how the structure of our ears affects those vibrations, its all unique. the best way to inteperate reviews is to read several by the same person and you learn to relate how they hear things in relation to how you hear things. so when you read soemthing new from that person you can figure out how that will relate to your own ears.
so for me and the Heaven 4 while i liked all it did aurally i did feel that you did pay for its prettyness, its name and its super fancy case. however i would prioritise audio abouve all of those and would happily use a ugly IEM from someone with no audio history and ive had to buy a £2 case of ebay for it.
