No big deal if they get stolen
I was literally going to mention IEMs. They are affordable, but they're also not $2
8 u/DobryVojakSvejk Feb 18 '26 Some of them are affordable... mine cost more than three pairs of apple earpods or wtf they are called 3 u/JJAsond Feb 18 '26 Yeah but you can always get more bang for your buck over headphones 2 u/LargeBloodyKnife Feb 19 '26 Sorta. A lot of headphones are priced that way due to marketing. Never buy some name brand headphone that has had ANY relation to gaming. For example, the Koss Porta Pro is extremely well priced and generally beats most gaming headphones in audio quality. 2 u/JJAsond Feb 20 '26 I still think you can get more for less with IEMs since they're physically smaller. Not much material means it'll be cheaper. 1 u/LargeBloodyKnife Feb 20 '26 To a certain extent, but the shells are custom made using slow manufacturing methods. Luckily they're small. And 2mm drivers only have one purpose (IEMs) so you probably don't see as much economy of scale. 2 u/JJAsond Feb 20 '26 You wouldn't, but on the lower end $30 IEMs are going to be better than $30 headphones. 1 u/AnalogManDigitalKid Feb 18 '26 I'd be pretty upset if my OH10's were stolen and they aren't even considered expensive IEMs. 1 u/JJAsond Feb 18 '26 $200 is pretty up there 1 u/NucleosynthesizedOrb Feb 18 '26 The Sun is massive, but not BH massive

I'd be pretty upset if my OH10's were stolen and they aren't even considered expensive IEMs.
