Is investing in an expensive iem worth it? (alien.top)

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?

Im pretty crazy with how I treat my iems, I buy expensive ones here and there and my heyday broke because of bad factory shenanigans and the replacement they sent me was the wrong side and they refused to fix it so I threw mine in the trash. that being said, as long as the only part that breaks is cables I think it's fine to spend like 150 and up on it. I've never had a problem with em and the only time I did was with a cable I accidentally elbowed. Honestly though, the under 100 market has gotten so amazing, I'm struggling to find an upgrade to my HBB PR2s
