Why is it so expensive null

Because apple knows they can rip off naive people and brand obsessed who will blindly buy their products regardless of quality to price. Its why many paid $300 for dollar store sound via Beats despite the distorted mids and highs. There are many headphones cheaper than this w better specs/hires certified. I find it odd that apple doesnt even list the impedance nor do they have any hires bt codecs included, so these are likely 20-20 and not to spec to fully hear hires flac tracks. Maybe its worth it if u care abt noise isolation, but bose and sony can do the same for $250. Even passive isolating cans drown out sound though. I find quality of most headphones cheap compared to Vmoda with their metal mylar cords and bendable band design that has lasted 5yrs in pouring rain. These cannot be worn in rain or while working out just like many headphones. Bluetooth quality is not even acceptable yet but apple and samsung are pushing to make is standard. Audio still gets choppy if u put your phone in your back pocket via bluetooth. Anyone willing to pay 600 for headphones without knowing the specs has money to waste and is not an audiophile. Might as well save a few hundred more get a real pair or just buy 2 good $300 pairs of cans. Contrary to the naysayers, there are phones that can power high impedance headphones and they sell portable amps

These headphones are in a different category than the normal ones that we are used to. for example there are Audio technica and Sennheiser that are 1000 and 2000 bucks. So what you're paying here is two H1 processors per cup, not just one and fully computational power for sound, spatial sound, amazing sound, incredible noise cancellation etc etc. These are not just your average consumer Headphones. Good luck on your purchase. Btw the closest in quality and sound that you can get to these ones are the SONY XM4 and they are around 349 bucks but of course they don't merge with the apple ecosystem like these ones do but they are definitely the best for that price range.

Because they can, and you will.

It has Apple Technology and cancels out the noise of everything around you, Apple also has top of the line technology that literally makes these worth the price. If you are not buying these, then go find another Apple product to buy
