That's fair I suppose. I buy quality to last as well. I've only bought two pairs of headphones in the last 10 years. One pair is wired in ear studio monitors that came with a pouch to prevent damage and the other was some wired over the ear open backs for when I need to be quiet at my desk.

We are lucky to be able to to make decisions that take us out of false economy situations. Inwould have bought multiples when I was younger, I might only have 10-30 to spend when I'd need/want them.

This is agood example of how it can be more expensive to be poor, the old example being boots that are half thebpricr lasting a quarter of time of the alternative.
