Don't jump to any conclusion. If you have the means and are interested, give it an audition and decide if it's worth it to you. I did just that, after half an hour of listening to music of different genres, I bought it. And I already own the $3,000 Hifiman HE1000. Substantial step up.
I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday
Very nice. Very expensive. Beryllium drivers. Reviews a bit hyped I think. Who would pay that premium otherwise? Not sure I could live just with any headphones still.
