I don't mind buying new $20 headphones every two years! I guess the latest SoundPeats I got were around $40, though.

If noise at all bothers you, decent ANC is a game-changer and worth spending more. I never tried it until I picked up a next cheap pair with it, and it's even better with a good pair.

And if you don't think it does, it will when you remove the ANC! (Trains, planes, coaches especially.)
