Begginer here: and when I say expensive I mean 150$. I don't know if it's worth it to put it all in one iem (ie200) them I have +2 year warranty and maybe upgrade the accessories along the way

Or-

Just buying an ultracheap chifi (10-20$) and just switch them out when they break

Is the quality and sound of an expensive pair worth the money? Also what if for some reason I'll just stop liking how they sound?

They definitely do get noticeably better up until atleast 150. After that returns somewhat diminish. If that's worth it for you is up to how much you care about sound quality. 20$ can get you a pair thats perfectly satisfying for most people who just want to listen to music and don't care much about getting the most fidelity they can get
