Isn't this the same problem? What're "good headphones"? Are they $100? $1000? What about an EQ? The consumer sound system industry is rampant with folks selling and worse, recommending, snake oil.

Anything over $200 is probably better spent on the amp and that too need not be super expensive to be more than good enough. Really, most hi-fi is just like jewelry: overpriced junk that is intended as a statement of the owner's affluence.

Good headphones to me are ones which are comfy to wear over a long period

I've found bose to be the only over ear headphones that don't hurt my ears.

Or headphones that last a long time, rather than falling apart after a few years.

I think I've had my Bose 25s about 8 years, replaced the pads a couple of times but other than that they've worked well

Keep them carefully, the new ones aren't nearly as good.
