I've been a bit curious. Both of my main headphones (Sennheiser HD-650, Sony MDR-SA5000) are at about the $350 price point (they may be more or less depending on when and where you get them). I decided on these from the research I did on various cans, so I'm not very familiar with the comparative value the cans above and below them have.
On the very end, quality goes up rapidly with relatively little difference in price, while on the high-end, like the HD-800, T1, and LCD-2, there are hundreds of dollars price difference between them, and rather than absolute quality, it's more a matter of taste when selecting one over the other (from what I gather, anyway).
So, at about what price-point do you find headphones to provide the greatest value, and most return for your money?
(note: this is in general. I'm not asking for recommendations; I'm happy with my HD-650s)
