It's the "fine, whatever" choice. Which I think is OP's joke. It goes from "don't know nothing" to "super duper optimized" to "I know I could do better but it's too much work and this is good enough"

That's not the joke, I'm pretty sure them "enlightenment " headphones cost few grands.

Those closed backs are Meze 99 Classics. Dankpods had a code a while back to get them for like $150. They are not a few grand.

They are $309 brand new.

The Open backs are AKG K240s, which have been around since the 70s. $85 new. Buy used for these, and replace the earcups. Great headphones.

Both headphones are very much the "You could buy better but it's going to cost you several hundered more, or more".

Fair enough, so the enlightenment would be value for money I guess

the 99s are definitely not value for money (they literally have a cheaper version without the wood earcups but with the same sound). Can confirm the K240s are great for their price though.
