None of the headphones listed are particularly expensive owing to sound quality. The ground floor of low-end hi-fi, decent passive wired headphones starts around $200-250. Essentially, all of the expense is going to the drivers in the headphones.

I found speakers with a basic subwoofer to sound better than any of my headphones.
It's a different beast entirely, headphones don't have true soundstage, the bass you can feel from your entire body is always better than just hearing and feeling with the ears.
The biggest reason I love headphones is the comfort and accuracy. With a speaker even turning my head changes the sound to a point where I'd rather use a headphone.
This could also be the case of you having headphones I would in no way describe as good.

Thanks. The reviews for Fh9 are great.
I just wished its like the airpod 3 where it sits outside the ear canal. I don’t want ANC.

Staying within Fiio, I'm happy with my FH7s (similar and more comfortable than the flagship FH9).

The chair placement in this room is horrific.

That's because in 2023 Bose headphones and earphones are just mid at best.
So are the ATH M50X for that matter.

Are you comparing desktop speakers to headphones?

I think Moondrop S8's are OK.

Sennheiser ie600 are around that. Got some on here for around $550. Really enjoying them, and they sound really energetic and fun.
Edit: they are also extremely low profile when in use and super comfortable for most people I've seen.

Yep. Antilion. Magnet is affixed by using a lighter to heat up the glue to stick well onto mesh.

Dunu SA6s are really good!
I would also recommend Moondrop Variations. They’re on a crazy sale right now on shenzhenaudio.com.
$520 down to $442. There’s a coupon for $5 off so that brings it down to $437. There’s no tax and free shipping. It’s a steal.

Start with the very affordable KZ ZS10 Pro, if you like those then you can go up in price from there.

Your spelling makes it difficult to follow you. If you're a bass head then a 1770 isn't a good choice
