I find that even the premium and more expensive makes are being made just as cheaply
I was looking for some new headphones recently, but reviews of even premium makes were pointing out quality flaws, flimsy manufacturing and so on and I guess now pretty much every pair of headphones in the world comes out of the same factory in Shenzhen and just gets a different brand sticker on it. So I bought a cheap pair by TaoTronics who I’d never heard of before and they’re great! Why would anyone pay 10x as much for basically the same thing?
