What is the mentality of spending thousands of dollars on a headset?

As the saying goes, a thousand dollars can't buy a good heart, and thousands of headphones are not too expensive for audio lovers who play with equipment. In fact, if you want to hear satisfactory sound quality and sound effects, it is also necessary to invest in equipment. It is definitely not enough to buy only a few thousand dollars of headphones, but also to invest in point-to-point front-end equipment, that is, headphone power amplifier or sound card. If you are a fan of playing speakers, then the investment in equipment will be even greater. I know some music lovers who even remodel the whole house to listen to music, such as using sound-absorbing materials on the walls, and even the stereo and headphone cables are made of pure silver or single crystal copper. There used to be a joke that audio lovers moved to the vicinity of a hydropower station for better sound quality. Although exaggerated, it also reflects the essence of audio enthusiasts.

Therefore, whether ordinary users need headphones of several thousand yuan also needs to be discussed according to the actual situation. For example, Bluetooth headsets are popular now, and the prices of better Bluetooth headsets are not cheap. Apple AirPods can only be considered as an entry level, and the price is 1000 yuan. A slightly better Sony Bluetooth headset with noise reduction function costs nearly 2,000 yuan. A Bluetooth headset like BOSE costs more than 2000 yuan. However, Bluetooth headsets are mainly easy to use, but because they can't transmit audio lossless, real music lovers won't use Bluetooth headsets.

And if you are an ordinary music lover, you usually use your mobile phone to listen to songs and play games on the bus and subway to and from work, so there is no need to buy too good headphones. Because public places are very noisy, the music downloaded on the mobile APP usually does not reach lossless quality. Therefore, even the best headphones can't achieve the ideal sound quality and sound effect. So if you just want to listen to music on your mobile phone or computer, it is recommended to start with the music itself. For example, it is much better to replace ordinary MP3 music with lossless format and Bluetooth headphones with wired headphones with several hundred dollars, rather than blindly selecting headphones with several thousand dollars.

If you can hear the difference between lossless audio and lossy audio, and the difference between wired headphones and wireless headphones, it is not too late to try to buy more expensive headphones at this time. Finally, it should be emphasized that thousands of wired headphones are definitely not used on mobile phones. If there is no suitable front-end playback equipment, a few hundred dollars of wired headphones are generally enough.
