Good headphones, like good speakers, are fairly expensive. OK headphones
can be had for a lot less but don't expect them to perform like the
expensive ones, some of which sound spectacularly real (Stax, HiFiMan,
AKG, Sennheiser, etc.)

I find it remarkable that even the most expensive ones have rather poor
specs. The frequency response it not flat, they have a lot of overshoot
and frequency response above 20 kHz is mostly not shown, strange!
