Go to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic and sound better than $200 dollar options out there. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.

    Yeah if youre buying headphones on Amazon or Walmart, you'll get shit.

    I refuse to shop at either of those places for anything really. Wish others would be brave enough to do so as well and stop giving billionaires money for no reason.
