I bought a new pair of headphones the other day because my old pair broke. After three years with that pair, I really can't complain. They were good, rest in pieces. However, I think they were much more expensive than the pair I bought.

They were a gift but the brand is expensive. Swapped out with a relatively inexpensive pair, just fifteen dollars, and I have to say I don't notice much difference in quality. Maybe a little bit but it's not much.

It goes to show that quality is not always determined by price. You just have to read reviews carefully and dig around. Good deal.
