I heartily disagree. The JH13 is cheap relative to the other super-high-end headphones with which it can compete sonically:
HE90: $6000+amp/transformer
Qualia: $3000+
R10: $6000+
L3000: $3500+
Omega II: $2000+amp/transformer
and so on...
From a different perspective, there is certainly nothing out there better than the JH13 at $1k.
While $1k is not cheap in an absolute sense, it is cheap for the level of performance the JH13 provides (let alone the custom-fit). It saved me about $3k over the headphone I used to own, sounds better, and is more comfortable to boot. If that's not a deal, I don't know what is!
