I don't know that. I have Apple stuff already (like most people) and know it's high quality. Trying Sennheiser is taking a risk for me. I'd pay to not take that risk.
I can't help but find this a little funny, because I consider Sennheiser the least risky purchase in the audiospace, but at the end of the day, the market for Senn is very different from the market for Apple. That point just typically falls on deaf ears in the audio crowd.

Of course it is. But so is Sennheiser. People pay for the quality of Apple, but it's only part of the equation.
