Who is this aimed at? Casual music listener? On-stage professional musician? In-studio mix engineer?
If it's not for on-stage monitoring or in-studio reference, then the cost is very high to listen to tunes during my day to day life.

sirthoughtHi there, it is made for everyone! Either you professional or just a teenager that listen to it while strolling to school in the morning (I have a friend that does exactly that with this iem, then she listen her u12 by 64 audio while at home ;) I use mine for indoor only music listening experience.

sirthoughtIt's aimed for audiophiles that want an earphone that stradles musicality while still being analytical and resolving. In the grand scheme of things, this is inexpensive compared to many current TOTL IEM flagships nowadays. TOTL Headphones top $2k+ easy and let's not even start on loudspeakers and amps. If you don't care about extracting every ounce of music from it's source this isn't for you. As a car guy, being into headphones is cheaper than worrying about big turbos, tuning/Dyno runs, and track time. Not to mention $800 on tires that can be worn out in just a few sessions.
Or, if it makes you feel better people spend even more absurd amounts on shoes and watches that offer less than what's on offer here. Just saying.

jaydunndidditHahaha completely agree with you on that. I love good sounding headphones, I guess same as everyone else ;) These days you can spend crazy money practically on anything. I know some people go and eat out every day but when time comes to buy new socks they think $7 is expensive. Any time depending hobby requires funding these days, it can be a laptop that cost $2k easily and you use it every day, nice 4k tv will run same or even more much more, gaming PC same story, car modification is twice, triple, dozen times more and much much more thing out there requires funding. I am not talking about boating ;) I use things carefully and most of the time reselling them then adding little money to upgrade and this way worked for wonders for me. I am hoping to try HD820 soon. Hopefully it will be one of my future purchases "hopefully near future" Sennheiser HD820. I haven't tried it but on the paper everything checked out well for my liking.

jaydunndidditI think this is good context - cars, computers, watches, cameras, guns, etc. etc. etc. - all are very expensive hobbies that can far exceed an item like this in cost and yet don't garner nearly the same sticker shock.
Although, I suppose it matters that superficially comparable items are included for free with every cell phone or can be purchased in any convenience store for <10 bucks.
Whatevs. I like expensive stuff.
