I think for durable goods one should expect to pay x4 the price. You buy not as frequently, but each item rather expensive,is quality...good example is Ikea furniture vs custom built. Ikea goes in 12 months, latter stay for quite some time.

I have been living in remote areas where shops probably don't stock headphones of that quality. Maybe I'll sneak up behind David Guetta the next time he plays a club. I bet his headphones are serious :) You might be right about having to pay 4x as much. I have been living in remote areas where shops probably don’t stock headphones of that quality.
