Ive considered this recently too as the audio industry appears to be taking the value route now rather than making genuine (non snake oil) innovation

Its nice that good audio is getting cheaper and cheap audio is getting better, but it would be awesome to see something brilliant again :(

However i feel its also the naturally increasing pace of technology. Imagine how long it took to go from the first planar IEM to the budget planar iem race. "Value" planar iem used to be the s12 as it was once the only one under $200, but only months after, we now have units under $50
