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.

  • For podcasts and audiobooks and even incidental music listening $10 panasonic buds go the distance for me.

    When I’m sitting down to enjoy music at home, then it’s the $80 sony studio monitors. Still excellent value.

    Give me my headphone socket back, phone makers :(
