This is a premium product. If you don’t like the price, it’s not for you. But it’s clearly worth it to a lot of other people.
Kind of ironic to read so many complaints about the prices on a website where “charge more” was the mantra in every comment section here for many years.

Everyone I personally know who has bought anything from teenage engineering has nothing but good things to say about the quality.

"Status symbol few have" like luxury car is also "worth" to people, even tho objectively might not be that off normal well-specced car.
