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.

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.

I managed to get my hands on a second hand HD598! I missed them so much. Now I gotta find a Sansa clip+ second hand and put rockbox on it.
