An interesting thing to note: Some audiophiles enjoy features that stray from perfect reproduction of music. Music can feel/sound better on a sound-system that introduces slight overdrive, saturation, warmth. Audiophiles will go for tube amps and vinyls, because they subjectively sound better.
However, it is possible to get a more accurate reproduction of sound at a lower price with an external audio interface, a pair of studio monitors and a sub. Here's a bargain list:
2 x Yamaha HS50M Speaker (2 x $200)
1 x Yamaha HS10W Sub ($400)
1 x MOTU MicroBook II Audio Interface ($250)
4 x TRS/XLR Cable (4 x $20)
So to hear every detail in a track costs about $1200, less than the Sennheiser headphones on their own. A computer audio setup for $3000 could be way better.
