Quote from PurpleRoad146 :
This is my first post. I kept thinking about returning theWeston W80 after buying them. But after a few days, they're the first pair of earbuds/headphones where I noticed half the music I've been listening to has been poorly mastered... I've still got like 2 weeks to decide whether to return them Stick Out Tongue
that's a glass 1/2 empty view... but a valid one Smilie
i'll take the glass half full view... that if you get a much better version of the same music you have now, that you can potentially enjoy it much much more

I know I have commented on this a few times, but I make exact $0.00 0 sells or 1000 sells...
That's evasive semantics. You may not make money directly from 1 or 1000 or 100000 sales, but SD does, who pays you...very likely quite handsomely based on a financial report I read about Slickdeals from a few years ago.

I want to say SD employed around 100 employees with nearly $100M in annual revenue? Hmm.

There was also the stink a few years back when SD finally added the teeny tiny wording about how SD may get a small share of the sale. Small shares add up. This is why cashback site references are VERBOTEN even if it is a better deal for forum readers.

Oh, how the truth is freeing.

People with more money than sense and branding. People who own these probably drink very expensive wine and convince themselves it's 100x better than normal wine. There is huge diminishing returns in most A/V beyond a certain point.

So agree!! I'm a ceramicist (a potter) and I try to price so everyone can buy it. But when I price hiked from$25/plate to $500/plate (more as a joke) and I sold 3. Faster than I ever sold em at $25! Crazy.

These headphones most likely have a high markup in order to maintain prestige or exclusivity, so you're paying for that (and getting nothing in return in terms of sound quality), but I'm pretty sure the company did more than change the appearance of a cheaper model to justify a several-fold increase in price.

The two Audeze models I have tried are the $700 EL-8 and $4000 LCD-4Z. What started as minor differences between the two have become more noticed over time and having put more varied types of music through each one. Even though the LCD is quite a bit heavier, I now greatly prefer them over the EL-8, which I can wear for longer periods of time. Whether that difference in sound is worth the difference in cost is entirely subjective. Definitely diminishing returns comparing the two models, but for me, I'll be hanging on to the LCD and might end up selling the EL-8.

Can someone explain to me why can headphones get this expensive? I don't think there is more R&D and material cost going into this than GeForce 4090
Because apparently there's someone willing to buy it at that price.
