I used to buy $50 price point headphones (loved the Sony bass ones) , bought a couple $100 ones after and was always let down cuz they weren't much better than the Sonys. Then one day while I was walking outside I happened to look down on the sidewalk and find a pair of the Apple Airpod Pro's. I'll never forget the first time listening to them, in a way it was like listening to music for the first time. I had literally never heard music sound so good before. I noticed things in songs I've been listening to my entire life that I had never noticed before. I've been ranting about them to people ever since. Just got another pair. I never thought I'd say it (always assumed it was all hype) but I absolutely recommend spending the money. They used to be $250 but you can get them for under $180. Expensive as hell but the bass is absolutely perfect, the noise cancellation is insanely fucking good, the music is more crisp than I've ever heard and they fit in my ears better than any earbud I've ever worn. I work outside by myself most days and having them in literally all day never gets old or uncomfortable.
There's very very few things that I jump on the train about but these absolutely blew me away.
