SpeleoFoolI f***ing love you guys. Most other communities on the internet and the op would have been right about catching flak for such a generalized and individually-subjective query -- instead he gets, "...but are you also considering everything else you won't be able to spend $1-2k on...? That's called opportunity cost; considering it will help you decide whether you're spending your money on what is most important to you."
What an incredibly helpful reply, dudes! It's like I said -- you guys are awesome.

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

There are two halves to answering "is it worth it" for your own situation. First is, can you afford it? You say you can, but are you also considering everything else you won't be able to spend $1-2k on if you throw that money into audio gear? That's called opportunity cost; considering it will help you decide whether you're spending your money on what is most important to you.
The second half is, will better headphones / IEMs provide enough value to justify the cash outlay? Answering that depends on many entirely subjective factors, such as how much you enjoy music, whether these are your first or 15th set of headphones, how much time you have to enjoy them, etc.
Of course, if you're just looking for an enabler as an excuse to give yourself permission to blow money on nice headphones / IEMs, well, the listening experiences do keep getting better as you climb the scale of pricier gear. Just be aware that gear upgrades tend to lead to not only better listening sessions, but also ... more gear upgrades. :-)
One last bit of perspective: right now I'm listening to Focal Utopias driven by the AK380 player I got from Massdrop a couple weeks ago. The audio quality is out of this world. However, I also absolutely love listening on the 6xx through the Aune X1S. With that setup I easily get lost in my music. It doesn't feel like anything is missing or compromised. If you do an A-B with the Utopias, there's no contest--the shortcomings of the cheaper setup are glaringly obvious. But if you *don't* then it just sounds like great music.
