Westone W60 Gen 2 Six-Driver Earphones Expired

Sound accuracy is a big thing, but really unless you already know all of the reasons and are someone who could answer your question far better than I can these are not for you, and the benefits of them would be lost on you. For the vast majority of people, they would not be able to tell the difference between a $300 and $3000 headset when it comes to the subtle nuances between how they sound. It is something you need to really build up knowledge and an ear for it to be able to get any benefit and it has greatly diminishing returns.

Sometimes with really nice headphones like this, the average person may actually think they don't sound that great because they are expecting something different since the intent of these is to represent the sound as accurately as it was intended by the person that created it. Taking a sound system and bumping up the volume on a subwoofer for instance may make it sound better for a lot of people, but that makes it less accurate compared to the original intent and this comes to personal preference and what you are looking for.

It isn't wrong to not be able to appreciate or notice these things and it isn't wrong to enjoy something different as well.

Another more universal comparison would by a TV, for the average person they wouldn't notice color accuracy in a TV and often people prefer features that kind of objectively make things look worse. Good examples of this could be people turning saturation up way too high so that "colors pop and look vibrant" but for a videophile, it looks atrocious. Another would be turning on motion smoothing or high framerate options on TVs that add the soap opera effect which some feel looks good, but for others like myself it looks really bad and causes video artifact issues and other issues that make the picture quality objectively worse, but those people don't notice/care about those things so they feel it is an improvement.

TLDR; If you don't know why you need these already, they aren't going to be for you.

Hi, can someone quickly tell me why (these) earphones cost $400? What does this have that other earphones don't have?
