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.

    Yup, really wanted ANC ones for on the train and very happy with my €50 Edifiers. Sound fine and the ANC is good. Watched tons of reviews on XM5s and Bose QCs which only seem to offer meaningless improvements.

    I do also own good cans and DAC for when I’m at home, but paying over €300 euros for something you’ll only use in noisy environments and fussing over audio quality you won’t be able to optimally enjoy anyways is silly.
