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?

I love my Salnotes Dioko. I upgraded from my KZ ZSN PRO X, and the difference is night and day. For $100 my experience was better than a mid $20 option. If you can be happy at $20-30 that’s great but I found a lot of technical improvements spending the extra money. So to spend an extra $50 for someone that you can keep and enjoy more.
