Are you all really getting an advantage out of these expensive headphones? I have eschewed headphones trying to preserve what hearing I have left but if it makes that much difference.....

I am a perfectionist by nature (yeah, its PITA) and I can hear the difference. Some, or I could even say most people - can't. To get the most out of your headphones you need a proper gear to drive them - or in other words, an amplifier. Especially for those headphones that come with high impedance. Some sound cards like Xonas Essence ST / STX have a built in amp for those lacking one.

Also - most if not all audiophiles will tell you that high quality headphones are the easiest way to get the best sound. You could spend 10x more on the speakers and various amps to get the same result.
