In your normal run-of-the-mill cone speaker, the voice coil is a copper coil of wire suspended in a gap of a magnet. Energizing the coil causes interaction with the magnetic flux, and the cone moves back and forth to produce air waves.
In a planar magnetic speaker, a voice coil ribbon is supported between two magnetized planes. The voice coil being spread out over a relatively larger surface area cools efficiently allowing a lighter voice coil relative to a given wattage.
People claim that planar speakers sound airy and open.
So, anyway, they are expensive because they are exotic. Few, if anyone else, make these.
What a waste of money.

But, yes, actually this is a good price. If you are going for the ultimate in sound, for either enjoyment or some sort of acoustic production role, I can see why these would be amazingly better than the normal "consumer" stuff, even the $Bose or $Beats brands that seem to command the $BigBucks even though they are not that different from the basic stuff.
These work totally differently and for some types of listening it can make a big difference.
I've never experienced a planar magnetic earbud, so I can't imagine how they would sound. Buds in general don't seat in my ear very well. And keep in mind these still need wires (not shown in pictures). But I assume if they get a good seal with your ear canal, and you can keep them in, they would sound at least $1K worth of awesome.

Now whether that's really practical or not, I guess I don't know, but it's pretty cool that they could do it. I'd love to listen to some at least once.
I have Planars (Tin P1, P2) and love the sound of them vs pure BA and Hybrid implementation, so was looking at Electrostatics hybrid and U12t but man this is good price for them to get in my audio journey. Any one who can provide an honest feedback as to how they would compare against Moondrop Variations?
