Exactly! Lots of people have a hobby. Just because this isn't your hobby or because you don't have one doesn't warrant you coming in here going, "I don't get it." Believe me, we understand that you, along with the vast majority of people, don't get it. Please just move on if you don't have something useful to say.

Why does every comment section for headphones that cost above whatever Apple charges for mediocre audio all look the same?

Why would I buy Apple Airpod Pros when I can buy some wireless Skullcandys?

These have a gold-coated planar driver and supposedly sound best when driven by PA speaker amps at higher voltage. Needless to say if you don't understand any of the above this headphone probably isn't for you. The original version of the HE6 without the "SE" or "v2" retailed over $1k and are still much lauded. The headband on this later version is considered to be not great and the drivers may have changed a bit.

i dont know guy. Why do people pay $500 for a golf club, $1000 for a lens, $30K for a Bass Boat, 5K for z Home theater, 20K for a swimming pool. Etc. I guess people aren't as smart as you.

Quote from woodpaq :
FYI I love my Monoprice M1060 open back headphones I paid 200.00 for 4 years ago.
The Monoprice 1060 headphones are built like crap, but they punch way above their weight when it comes to sound. The 1060c is one of my favorites for bass heavy listening (which I don't do often, but it's great at it).

(BTW - speaking of "built like crap", the HiFiMan headphones have a very bad reputation for falling apart and being literally irreparable, because the company won't sell the parts.)
