Current Events > Are those $100 + earphones/Airpods worth it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Who would actually spend money on a set like that?

I might if i was rich.

I have a cheaper brand that cost half that. I wasn't sold on wireless until I actually tried it. But it's hard to run with them on.

---

bought some 300$ airpods not too long ago, totally worth it

I have spent about that much on headphones before without regret. Noise canceling and comfort are worth paying for

I have the second generation AirPods I am disappointed with them because the microphone stopped working in the right one and Ive had them for about 10 months.

IME the people that describe themselves as "Audiophiles" say they can hear a difference.

I can't hear the difference though. My 20 Phillips buds sound better than the Bose 700 over ear headphones I tried.

They're worth it if you want the convenience of no wire.

I have a pair of cabled KZ Pros that ran me like 22 bucks and the sound quality is the best I've ever heard.

Wireless headphones are more of a pain than anything. For most of them, even changing the volume or swapping devices is a pain in the ass.

I like headphones that are at least connected to each other. That way I can hang them around my neck when I take them off, and they still have buttons for volume, swapping songs, pausing/playing, turning on and off, changing devices, and more.

Completely wireless headphones tend to have only one button on each side and it's very very basic functionality, plus you can't charge them without the dumb case.

I have AirPods Pro and they are amazing

I was very skeptical and reluctant to buy them at first too

---

I have two pairs of Raycon E25s, I use headphones like 14 hours a day

---

I have Galaxy Buds Live and I love them. Supremely comfortable and they sound great. I've done everything from calls to interviews with them and they haven't let me down. Everyone sounds crystal clear and no one from the other end has had any issues in hearing me.

I bought my wife AirPod Pros and she loves them too.

---

I have the second gen Airpods and they were worth every penny

You won't truly appreciate wireless headphones until you've used them

---

Galaxy buds+ have been the only ear buds that have actually consistently stayed in my ear while jogging, so the $150 was worth it to me.
I wish the mic didn't pick up so much noise during calls though.

I haven't tried the airpods though
---

2nd gen AirPods here too. I went from Bose and beats to the AirPods, seems worth the price to me.

---

I have apair of sennheisers, not super impressed with noise cancelling, seems like a fake gimmickto keep prices high

They were 200$ and theyre alright, not amazing, didnt go up in price because I prefer tactile buttons

If 100$ gets you headphones your excited to wear, its worth it

---

I have Beats Powerbeats Pro and they're great. The quality of Beats now are comparable to airpod since they're basically the same thing now. I like them because they clips around the back and it helps stay on if I'm active.

I also have wired Audio Technica M50x where you can detach the cord. I usually use it with my computer but I also have an Bluetooth adapter for it if I ever wanna go wireless with it.

I think it worth it to spend some money on a quality set. I bought some $12 wireless one from TJ Max because I was traveling out the country so I wanted one that I didn't care to lose, but the audio quality was horrid and the latency on video was just as bad.

---

If you've never had quality then I imagine they sound amazing

I have the Samsung Beans and have tried the Buds+ and they just don't hold up compared to my QC35IIs.

They're okay for like going about but not a replacement imo for sitting at home with OTEs on

airpods look fucking ridiculous
