Meh, this old argument.
You're on a mobile device in environments with gobs of noise.
Damn few people could tell the difference in sound quality in those situations, fewer still would care (e. g. People like you. Not to be dismissive at all - that's your thing).
A car is 70db+. Just being outside in a city you're probably looking at a variable noise level of what, 40-70+?
If that's important to you, cool, do what you like. But most people are looking for something with far less quality. You don't need that kind of quality to hear a podcast clearly, or listen to "Dance Dance Track 15".

You don’t, but once you’ve had it, turning back and going to something more expensive that is worse, more annoying to use and will be aproaching useless in 3-5 years? For what? Like it straight up is less convenient for me because i forget to charge it and then it starts dying mid-run or mid commute.
