It's not superior, but is more versatile. I'd argue the lack of any kind of analogue input gives the product a limited lifespan. I've had the same studio monitors for the past 10 years, and headphones for 15 years. Audio equipment has always been one of those things that does not get better with time. But now we have Bluetooth headphones with hard to replace batteries, and proprietary wireless connections. As for the flat frequency response, that's pretty cool, and the fact the user doesn't have to rent a meter and average the frequency response curves across the room (and then apply a suitable EQ), means that many of these are going to end up sounding better than most high-end speakers. Because really, how many people who buy high-end speakers bother with room treatment and tuning?
