I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    Hard disagree. I mean yeah, if you’re only listening to speech, garbage quality headphones are where it’s at.

    But if you listen to music, a decent pair makes an absolute world of difference. It’s like night and day. Like comparing a tin can to a music concert.

    You don’t have to spend a zillion dollars, though. A good set can absolutely still be had for cheap, but you just have to do your research first.

      Yeah, I went from 20$ ear bucks to 60$ ones and I can absolutely hear the difference in music as well as get nicer experience (e.g. longer battery drain). Worth it, since I often listen to music on walks.
