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?

Like all things in life, "worth" is very subjective and different for each person. What something is worth it to you may not be worth it to others, and vice versa.

Music and listening to music is one of my favorite hobbies and passion in life. I personally think expensive audio gear is worth it to me. I've spent thousands of dollars in the past decade on audio gear and think it's worth it. Other rich people with a lot more disposable income than me have spent tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands on audio gear.

Bought the Thieaudio Monarch MKIII when it launched and it's been one of my favorite purchases, even though it's expensive for most folks. Spent $400+ on cables for it too. Worth it to me, but not to a lot of people on Reddit or in general.
