There's a common misconception when it comes to buying tech: if something is expensive or costs a premium, surely it's good. We've all been there. On a random Friday night, you're going through Amazon listings to try and find the best Bluetooth speaker when your eyes land on one that costs nearly $200. You think, "That's pricey! This will be worth the money, surely."
That couldn't be further from the truth. 'Expensive' doesn't mean 'good,' and it's a myth I constantly try to bust when speaking with friends and potential buyers, and it's what my reviews strive to do. Recently, I tested the Edifier ES60 which, at first glance, looks like a premium speaker worth the premium it clearly costs: $199 doubloons. And you'd be half-right.
