I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Headphones/ear buds. It really comes down to your use case. If you listen to podcasts and audiobooks 90% of the time then you only need good enough which is typically around $40.

I never had expensive headphones, but I had gaming headsets, which are not cheap here, and they are mostly bad. Now I use IEMs because there's a lot of really cheap options that are great.
