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.

    As an audiophile I agree. There are now a lot of quality cheap headphones and earbuds on the market and I still use a lot of my cheap ones despite have a pair of Sennheiser hd600s (300$).

    For headphones use the Koss KSC75. For earbuds use moondrop chus, three are also some new cheap items and you should look at those too. Basically watch crinacle on YouTube. Also using an EQ to adjust the sound of your headphones can make them sound much better.

        Something I didn’t elaborate on is that even though a lot of cheap audio gear is pretty good now, some expensive cans are still mindblowing. I also didn’t mention that I still use my Sennheiser everyday and love them to death, as well as loving my koss pair.
