Recently, I bought a used pair of Focal Elegia. It is a high-end product, going for $900 at launch. Mine is used, about $500. It came in a premium-looking cardboard box and carrying case. The headphones themself weigh about a pound, beautifully crafted with thick micro-fiber memory-foam pads. But headphones are less about the look, more about the sound. Different headphones have different sound characteristics. One wouldn't know what he/she wants without going through different options. I also started from some cheaper headphones that are not necessarily worse in all aspects: The Focal Elegia (Nakamichi CR-2 in the back) A few years ago, I picked up a pair of Sony MDR-V700DJ from a thrift store for $1. That was my first time trying a better pair of headphones. They supposedly went for about $200 back in the 90s. As the name suggests, they were DJ headphones designed to groove out in a noisy club or something and thus very bassy, full of rhythm. They were fine, just not very comfort...
