and? You know what was also for the average consumer? Apple wired earpods that came free with your phone. There has always been 2 distinct markets that have coexisted and these markets will continue to exist because the niche of audio is exactly that, a niche. There will always continue to be high end products like the Focal Utopia or Hifiman Susvara because they don't need to appeal to the general market and have been getting by just appealing to the niche because no average consumer will ever spend thousands on headphones.

they don't because apple or other mainstream company hasn't had the balls to charge thousands for headphones, but people are absolutely fine with paying a premium and beign overcharged, it gives them status
