What's wrong with that? If you buy a pair of headphones for 2$, you simply can not expect good sound. But if it works well enough to hear what you need to hear, this sounds pretty fair.

I got $15 bluetooth headphones from a r/buildapcsales post, everyone in the comments said it would sound like shit, but I've been using them for over a year and I couldn't be happier. it's got noise cancellation, battery lasts for close to a week with my heavy usage, and it's got really good quality. Maybe just to me, but I'm young, so my ears shouldn't be that degraded yet. But I have gotten pairs for my friends and family and they are all happy. Sure, they aren't XM4's, but they are literally $15, and I have gotten way more than that in value.

Objectively, I’m sure they aren’t great quality. You just don’t seem to care, which is great for you, but also doesn’t make your advice givers wrong. Have you ever tried $200 headphones to compare? Also you go back and forth on they are quality and they are only 15 dollars so what should I expect.

I didn't expect much but they sound great to me. I have tried XM4's and other higher end headphones but not for a long period of time (just a few hours). But I know I'm not that bad at determining quality so they are at least pretty decent.A

What's the model?

Hetyre HT9's, they are now listed for $40 but were at one point $30 with a half-off coupon.
