Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I’ve found but my chosen brand fails me.

    Just chiming in with an alternative perspective on headphones.

    I personally disagree that anything higher than $200 is a waste. Diminishing returns is subjective relative to one’s enjoyment, but I think I’ve landed on a few headphones around ~$300ish I am very happy with.

    I own headphones significantly more expensive than that, but I wouldn’t call them a waste of money since they bring me tremendous joy and they are better at reproducing sound to my preferences than my cheaper pairs.

    But for me, if I had to somehow objectively quantify my joy-per-dollar between some of the really good ~$300 pairs and my top of the line pairs, it wouldn’t be so significant that my quality of life would be dramatically altered.
