I'm not questioning that these headphones are a pretty bad deal, just mentioning that $500 is nothing special for headphones. Also the high end is a lot more than just pro headphones, in fact I'll go ahead and claim that most mastering-oriented headphones (not that many, I'll give you that) I heard tend to have a tonality that I dislike.
