Seems pricey to me.
Is it necessary to spend this much, for good headphones?

Not really. I just bought (just received them today, actually) a
pair of Shure SRH-840s. They sound AMAZING, much more balanced
than any headphones I've ever had before. I've had probably
something from every style under $100 MSRP (not counting
ridiculous Amazon discounts), but these were $200 ($130 on
Amazon). I'm hearing stuff I've never heard before, no
exaggerated bass, mids OR highs, and they are overall MUCH
clearer than other stuff. I'm a young audiophile (I'm 16), and
still learning,
Audiophile 16 years old? Yup, you are still learning, big time!
But you already had dozens of headphones?
Low build quality. I didn't say dozens... I'm probably used about 15,
maybe 20 different pairs.
You suggest *many* more by writing "They sound AMAZING, much more
