minus-squarejnod4@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoDid they have good noise blocking? Good battery? Good delay? Microphone? Good warranty? Reparaibility? There’s so many reasons to spend a buck extra
minus-squarepotpotato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoTBF if they’re uncomfortable you don’t use them, so that’s a breaking feature.
minus-squareKühlschrank@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI did get aftermarket pads for them but they are not made for long term listening. But that is beside the point - they show you don’t need to spend $1000 to get great sound and they are only one example of that.
