You'd have to be one hell of an audiophile to be able to discern the audible difference enough to warrant that price tag...

You guys have no clue how much a audiophile is willing to pay for good sound.

When Takeo Morita worried that "tainted" power would affect the quality of his tunes, he installed a roughly $10,000 utility pole with his own transformer to get more electricity straight from the grid. It's not completely unreasonable to worry about electricity. Sufficiently terrible electromagnetic interference could produce audible glitches.

I am cheap with everything except audio and video once you experience real quality sound there is no going back, I spent thousands of dollars over the years setting up  high quality sound   in my basement, I have a 7.2 surround system, the latest addition was dolby atmos audio which I added last year, listening to music and watching movies on it is out of this world.

Nothing wrong with that, but if you pay $3,500 for a digital link which is a stream of ones and zeros, you're an idiot. Either the cable works, or it doesn't. If a zero changes to one accidentally or vice versa, it will generate a horrible sounding spike in the audio in many cases that would make you cringe. Fine tuning a digital connection is pointless.

As far as the 3500 usb cable... No thanks.

My $4 iLuv earbuds sound wayyyyyyy better than my Bose and Beats by Dre earbuds as well as my BBD over ear headphones. Almost a good a my Pioneer dj headphones... Almost.

over the ear will almost always sound better then earbuds because of bigger drivers.

Well yea of course... I waa just saying my $4 iLuv earbuds i got on amazon (which are pink n white, other colors were like $6) sounded better than my $100+ Bose and Beats by Dre earbuds. And of course my pioneer studio headphones are better than them all (got'em on sale from pssl for under 300).

... No way would i drop $3500 on a usb cable to hookup a phone/ipod to a mixer.

The factory cable on my sennheiser hd800 broken not that long ago.

Over $200 US to replace.  I found that pretty outrageous.

(I didn't - I repaired it.. for now).

Yeah I bought one for I think $50 AU, but so much worse

Not sound wise, of course.  Just wayyy smaller.  The factory hd800 is quite long and that turns out to be very useful for me.

Yeah, but like a sea view, the moment you stop and take stock of what you have (ie, stop and actually just listen to music and do that), you're right back where you were when you first got it.

If I had a lot of money, I'd own hd600 and 700 just out of sheer curiosity for how the money scales  :)

I skipped that price range because I knew that I would just keep going up and that I would just spend more, doing that - so I copped for the expensive ones that you will end up at (if you're a free man, without womans involved)

its like people who buy big plasma TVs, you should keep the old TV at the side of it and watch the old one every now and again, if you dont HD/3D is the norm...

Absolutely.  Contrast is what gives clarity.  I spend most of my time listening to headphones that are a fifth of the price of my hd800.

And there isn't riots in the USA? I seem to remember how there were quite a lot riots just few month back, while police shoot black citizens just for fun. Difference is obvious: In the Sweden, police kill 1 - 3 criminals per year, and it is less than police kill daily in the USA.  In Sweden you have free health care,  free medicines, far more safe society and cleaner environment than USA, they even live longer than average American. If you look statistic about crime and violence, it is all just like I say: Yearly figures in Sweden are like daily figures in USA.

If tin foil hat Trump try to fool you, it isn't mandatory to believe. What he is doing is just childish try to make you believe that he can make changes in the USA, while he is just saying that everything is worse in other countries. That is just bullshit, and you soon find out what kind of moron you have as an president. Just start to calculate things which in your life has change better by the acts of government? Do you have longer vacations? Do you have more money? Is your living became cheaper in any way? Do you have free...anything to compensate taxes you pay? How many full paid holidays you have per year? Swedes has 6 to 8 weeks free time with full salary each year + paid holidays, sick leaves, maternity leaves and finally they get their pension at the age of 60 something, how about you? They doesn't even pay significantly more taxes than you guys do, but they get way more from what they pay. If there is few silly Muslims jumping around, it is nothing compared to the fact, that you have more than million black Americans in your prisons as a slaves, who work for different companies by cent's per hour  Grin

How about USA and problems with muslims? You send your youth to foreign countries to be killed by them, and that is just fine and dandy for you? If you compared figures of the category "killed by muslims", it take decades to get swedes reach the numbers you manage to do each week. So what is your point? Sweden is a trash country because your new god, D. Trump say so referring false news? Yippikayee, he has to be messiah to you..
