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.

As a different audiophile I disagree. I lost my Fostex TH-X00PH and haven’t found anything nearly so satisfying. I gotta have that wide open and unrestrained power coming from my cans and the difference is so so much!
Still though, if you’re just into podcasts just shoot for convenience features. Any true wireless earbuds will be fine. I like the Soundpeats H1. $90 and they can thump better than my liberty pro 3.
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.
