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?

Definitely cheep chi-fi. There are all kinds of sound signatures present under $50. I’ve got some KZ’s for stupid v shaped fun, salnotes zero for close to neutral, and truthear HOLA for something in between.
