30 | Headphones | Headphones are relatively low-tech devices. It's not like a cell-phone that gets outdated in 12months; the tech just doesn't change rapidly at all. Disregarding style elements and wear, it would be very difficult to tell a headphone made 20 years ago from one made yesterday. Bluetooth headphones are obviously an exception, because that technology does change quite rapidly.

31 | Headphones | Headphones aren't electronic/digital, so they don't get steadily outdated like computers, phones, graphic cards, etc. Which get a newer model almost every year. Headphones aren't processors or software that can be made to be more powerful or efficient. | https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/7aj478/why_headphones_prices_dont_drop_over_time/ | |||||||||||||||||||||||
