RE: Science Brief: Does Buying Expensive Headphones Guarantee You Better Sound Quality?
I did just replace my $15 dollar headphones with a pair of $100 ones. (they were on sale for $40 and the mic on my $15 broke.) The sound itself isn't really different, but the quality of the headset itself is better. Noise-cancellation really does help sound quality. I don't think that it really takes that much extra to make though. I never expected there to be no correlation though, thanks for this lol.
but it does have lights that change color.....I think that makes up for the price difference.
Was surprising to me too. None of the expensive sets deviated very far from the "ideal" frequency response so at least they all likely did sound pretty good. So its not like if you spend a good bit of money your going to end up with a bad sounding set.
Definitely yeah to the benefits of noise cancellation, exterior noise ruins what you are listening to, so if you really want to hear the sound you gotta have it isolated right.
:D
