With audio, at least until we can get objective testing done here, all I can say is that it comes down to what you want from IEMs. You could say that most people would be okay with the early 2000's bundled earphones that came with basically anything, and another person could say he or she absolutely find value in a 5-figure audio setup with pre-amp, DAC, AMP, monitors and different tuned IEMs for different music and audio versions. I do feel there's a market for these for sure, so hopefully the review will help those in said market to make an informed purchase decision and decide whether this is indeed overpriced or not

That's part of the reason I was hesitant to do a full review, since I don't have a lot of IEM's here, but let's see what I can do in the future.
