When I write about headphones, you’ll often see me wax lyrical about how they can compare to cars. There are those that don’t cost much, but they’ll reliably play your tunes when you need them to and do it fairly competently. Those are the equivalent of your common or garden Honda Accords or Toyota Camrys, econoboxes that get the job done for a reasonable price.
Then there are the desirable but attainable options, like the WH-1000XM5. They cost a bit more, but you get great features an excellent sound in a very tempting package for a bit more financial outlay. Those are your Mercs and BMWs.
