" if there exists an actual physical difference between the drivers of cheap headphones and lets say a hd560/650/600"
yes

"both the cheap and expensive headphones have the same dynamic 40mm drivers"
no.
they might both be 40mm ones though.

what are you talking about they have different engines which is what actually matters and drives up the price you are talking about the superficial similarities. I am refering to the actual components that make up the drivers.

Sorry if you misunderstood what I meat but do you have any answer or some tangible difference you can point to.

drivers are different, yes.
but sound is not just drivers. it's everything else: the shape of the shell, the material, the pads, etc.

Thank you for that more reasonable answer. This guy was just looking for a simple answer, not just a bunch of elitist snark.
