An unstable psyche, a Yubikey, a 32GB Sandisk USB C/A drive, a 5000 mAh charger, a pair of in ear headphones worth $1500. I'm not crazy.

    OK, I will take the bait. What sort of $1500 earphones?

    Short answer: to me, yes.

    Long answer

    They are the equivalent of studio monitors compared to speakers, regardless of the price.

    I bought them in autumn of 2023 and have been using them regularly, albeit not daily, since. If you prefer the sound of speakers targeted at the larger music consumer population, then I don't recommend them. They don't have the typical bass and treble that those speakers output. With these, I have a flatter but also immensely wider sound: I can pick out any instrument or track in a recording an enjoy/follow it. I can enjoy ambient sound/noise that cheaper speakers don't reproduce. I'd say they are targeted more towards musically trained consumers.
