Do you guys think a headphone that cost £200+ over 10 years ago is still better than a cheap headphone brand new today?

I feel like the rate of quality increase isn’t anywhere near as fast as something like smartphones & the old headphones would still be better? Anyone have any input on this?

    Idk about headphones but IEMs have gotten exponentially more advanced the past decade.

    Even these last few years have been night and day differences like the Campfire Audio Andromeda from 2016 to the 2018 ThieAudio Monarch lineup and now the crazy Elysian Annihilator, Fir Audio XE6, Empire Ears Raven, FatFreq Grand Maestro, to name a few. I can’t keep up!

    They gotta chill with the prices though as flagships are costing as much as $8000. I’ll wait it out till I can get the Annihilator in a few years for $1000 lol
