people that spend $4000 on headphones will have no problem spend few hundred more on custom cables.
I think a case and the extra cables should be included from here on. However, if they suddenly posted on their web site that a case was included, what would happen to all the exiting stock at dealers? What if a customer bought a pair that was shipped prior to when a case was inluded, only to complain that they didn't get a case?

It's a no win situation for manufacturers. If they do put extra cables/cases/etc in the primary sales package, some people will complain that they don't want to pay for extras they don't need.
Plenty example of exactly that on head-fi...
It all comes down to this:
1) Focal told you exactly what you're getting and what price you were paying for it.
2) You purchased the headphones knowing ^^^
3) You're now mad that they're releasing another headphone with accessories you want
4) Here's where the perceived "whiny-ness" comes in: you complain about not getting said accessories even though you went through with 1 and 2.
Should you be able to buy more accessories for your headphones? Sure! Do you already have that option? Yep!
Yet, here we are. People who bought 3K+ headphones pissed off that they didn't get the same shiny accessories that new owners of the Clear will receive. Again, seems very childish and entitled.
Well that is just an asinine statement. Just because you can afford to fork out extra does not mean you should. What if I had no money to spend right now for a custom cable but have a balanced amp? I won't be able to take full advantage of my setup. There are so many factors at play here. You do not assume everyone that owns a Utopia is comfortable with spending more on top.
the notion that you do not have the money for a cable means you are not their target audience, you are paying for exclusivity not bang for the buck come on....
That's your crutch position.Neither do people who keep silent.
Good point.when you pay $4000 on something that prob cost few hundred to manufacture, you should expect to be ripped off. But at least you can brag to your friends and stroke your ego. This is true for all TOTL in most hobby, cycling, golfing, boating etc, so don't feel too bad.
