IEM to full-sized price ratio is getting better, Westone 4 and Sony EX1000 at $400-450 (in Asia) can probably match HD595, maybe better in some ways, though it's been a while since I've owned the later... (I own the EX1000, also the Audio Technica ESW10JPN and W1000X. As you can see, performance/price ratio is the second thing on my mind). Maybe more like 2:1 now, if you don't count super deals like HD580. But then again, I just realized HD595 is dirt cheap now, Amazon has them for $140 lol... and I got them for $250 back then.
