>Also $200 isn't that expensive when talking about headphones

It absolutely is. Is it more common now than a few years ago? Yep. But it's still expensive, especially when there are excellent options below $50 and serviceable ones around $4-5.

We have a highly differing opinion on "serviceable" and "excellent".

Clearly, though my every day pair are HD650s for home/office work. Well worth the $300, but also not something I plan on ever upgrading or replacing. $200 headphones are a luxury item and, I believe, objectively expensive.

If they provide excellent sound over BT, maybe they're worth the $200 (160?), but they'd still be expensive.
