This music is great! It must be because of these capital intensive goods which I use to play the music not the human and social society which produced it.

Like, there is such a thing as good and bad speakers/headphones, but those guys definitely take it too far.
My sober brain understands that there can't be that big a difference between ~$100 headphones and ~$300 headphones, but my drunk mind nearly bought a pair of $300 headphones the other day. Thank fuck I was able to reason out that it would be dumb as fuck to put that on a credit card.
for consumers nah, in the studio sometimes it's nice having nicer headphones but tbh you shouldn't be mixing in headphones anyway. 300 is kind of entry level decent stuff in pro audio.
If my union wins the lawsuit it currently has out against my employer, I plan on using some of the like $10k each of us will get in back pay on a pair of really really nice headphones and maybe a portable amp.
The rest will go directly to student loans.
I hope your union wins :kim-salute:
Thanks! Me, too!
The thing is price sometimes isn't even the clearest factor in good. Beats by Dre are $200+ but are shit but Bose in-ears are $100ish and are great.
Audiotechnica MX40 or Grado SR80e are the best headphones under $100, depending on whether you want open or closed back.
Beats are a fashion statement, Bose punch under weight because they are wireless.
But yeah, agreed otherwise.
Real talk, though, the noise canceling on the Bose QC35s is incredible.
There is a massive difference between $100 and $300 headphones. There is diminishing returns past that though. This is assuming you are talking wired headphones without noise reduction or anything like that. If you go for extra features, you either pay more or the money comes out of the audio quality.
