Do you guys think a headphone that cost £200+ over 10 years ago is still better than a cheap headphone brand new today?
I feel like the rate of quality increase isn’t anywhere near as fast as something like smartphones & the old headphones would still be better? Anyone have any input on this?

Comparing different headphones, then there isn’t much difference between a new headphone and an old one. I have AKG headphones from before 2013 and they are still amazing. Old AKG and Sennheiser headphones are still good.
The difference is within in brands and mostly planars. I haven’t heard all of them, but people say every version of the Hifiman Arya was noticeable better than the one before. DMS didn’t say it directly, but he said newer Audeze headphones have better tuning than the one before while maintaining their technical ability.
Moondrop Blessing 2 would obliterate Sennheiser IE8 and UE TripleFi 10.
