Summary

  • The drivers in cheap headphones and earbuds do not have much range, albeit being cheap, which makes the sound flat or lack bass altogether and makes it tinny and loud.
  • They are very inexpensive and hence are bound to have cheaper and more brittle materials that can break easily, especially since they tend to have lots of plastic, making them lightweight and prone to damage.
  • They usually have a very limited selection of features compared to higher-end headphones, and hence it is not worth purchasing a cheap pair that will likely break due to brittle materials and limited features.
  • It is better to save up and get a higher-quality pair of headphones that will last much longer.
