The biggest reason that I don’t have a planar yet is because of the price. But hifiman solves that issues with very good and affordable planars.
But the only reason I haven’t done that yet is because of hifiman QC.

$217 at Amazon for Monoprice M1070. I love mine, I think they sound great.

Try monoprice monolith maybe?
Have heard a lot of positive feedback about their products and they seem very affordable, especially when discounted.
Unfortunately never had the opportunity to try any, so I can only speak about stuff I've read about them.

Mono is one I'm curious about. Years ago had a modded m1060. Sound was great but by a country mile the worst built headphones I've ever seen. Nothing that would break, the parts felt durable, but it just felt like the absolute cheapest possible "sturdy" build where yes things are metal and wood and so on, but it feels so poorly distributed weight wise. Feels like a piece of string with 2.5lb weights on each end, just the worst most uncomfortable headphone I've ever wore. Earpads were great but I literally couldn't even look down at my phone without them falling off.

same here. I would love to move the goalposts and get some affordable Hifimans, but the failure rates are a deterrent... unless they start offering 5 year warranty periods.
