Needed headphones for editing + gaming.

Originally planned to spend around $120 but Reddit and YouTube reviews convinced me to “just spend more once” so I bought a pair that cost almost $430 after taxes.

And yeah they sound good… but not 3x better good.

Now I’m babying them constantly because I’m scared they’ll break, replacement pads are overpriced, and the Bluetooth randomly cuts out during long editing sessions.

What annoys me most is my cheaper old pair honestly felt more comfortable for daily use.

I’m starting to think a lot of premium tech purchases mainly exist so enthusiasts can justify their own spending to each other.

Does anyone else feel like mid-range products are the sweet spot most of the time?
