SoundClub lets anyone experience superior sound without spending hundreds of dollars upfront on high-quality headphones. Swap for a new pair as often as once per month.
I'd consider using this before choosing an expensive pair to buy (saving money in the long run). For now I've enjoyed my B&W P5's for the past 5+ years.
I have Senheisser Amperior which have been doing amazing for me for 5 years and they costed around $200. I consider this a bit too expensive. Maybe this is good for musicians and celebrities. Not the ideal segment
As a Sennheiser fan, I can see the appeal.
For my Momentum headphones, I had to pay $399, or $17 per month if spread over two years.
However, after a year my warranty expired and I started wanting a different pair.
The ability to swap for another color or model, and to have warranty for all that time, is well worth the $3/mo premium.
I wonder what happens in the event of accidental damage though. If this were on the level of AppleCare+ it would be real win.

@msavin I tried to find out more about their insurance option, but their customer support had no information on this!
Maybe I'm not their target segment but this makes no sense to me. When I find a pair of headphones I like, they become like a comfortable pair of slippers, a companion providing the soundtrack to life's adventures. I've had my B&O H6s for over 5 years and just recently replaced the leather ear cups instead of tossing them and buying a new pair:
