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 got a pair of moondrop stellarius. I prefer headphones, but iems are underestimated. I wouldn't call chifi cheap*, but moondrop and ikko makes great iems. Mostly use iems for Soundstage and accurate bass.

My 119.00 iems are equal too a t50rp with better eq profiling imo.
