This year I have seen several pairs of headphones on 'sale' for $200. What do they do that the $12 pair does not?
They don't sound like crap.
My Sennheiser headphones are one of the best purchases I've made. Awesome headphones for the money.Headphone quality really matters. The "Beats" headphones are for suckers, but there are a ton of great pairs out there that won't set you back too far.
Sennheiser is a good brand and if you're at the absolute entry level, these are a good place to start.
If you are looking for really nice headphones, you can get great value in this pair, which is probably worth 2-3x as much as you'll pay for them.
If you like music and listen to it with headphones often, it is definitely worth your money to upgrade to a quality pair.
Anyone know of a good wireless set?
