Absurd? Why? They can set any price they want to. They feel they are worth 3,000... The public will be judge... That's how capitalism works If there's only 2-3 thousand made I guarantee you they will sell out. People like having luxury items.. & there are enough hardcore headfiers that will roll out that sort of cash.. & speaking of price VS performance in regards to 3,000 headphones is absurd in itself.. Do people spend 5,000 for a pair of R10 cause they feel they are getting a great deal? No.. People who can afford to buy the R10 buy out of prestiege, rarity, status symbol, & of course being highly regarded by many to be the best dynamic headphone ever created. People who are lucky enough to afford such items don't think like the majority.. Diffferent values & expections.. They want it, there for they buy it, cause they can..

[size=11pt]I think the pricetag at the range more them 3,000 dollars or at about 2,000 euro is totally absurd and irrational. I do not thing that there is so special material or something what produce the price to this level. It is more snobbish style, to spend horrible money to something what is design-art, “limited edition”, or something. The sound is perfect, but dramatically overcosted by “other sides” like grill etc. I think, there is added one or two innovative features and price is irrationally multiplied. Where ED10 are so dramatically better then Beyer T50p? Yes, they can be better, but the distance in sound quality is NOT so enough as the price explosion. I like high quality headphones but with rational pricetag and with rational approach to customers. Beyerdynamic is well organization in aspect, they want deliver the latest technology in them products (series) with the price which is rational for most of users, without “artificial” parts as “design decoration” etc. I not need total luxury case, but the device for sound listening. When you want to have these additional parts, Beyerdynamic give you all in manufacture programme or with tunning partners, there you can spend for tesla models so much money so you want, with diamonds, crystals ... I think, the magic is to produce top quality products with latest technologies in most acceptable pricetags. I think, Beyerdynamic is there very successful. As I said ultrasone were, is and will be overcosted for their higher products. That’s all.[/size]
