The worst thing is that some brilliant sound design is held back by some folks who will buy a top of the line video card but some cheap shitty headphones.

Cheap shitty headphones, when the Koss KSC75 exist for $20 and sound better than anything I had bought before. I have better headphones now, but $20 is $20, and I still like how small they are. Despite having HD600s and HE1000s, they're still my go-to for the average use case.

EDIT: Here's a list of headphones worse than $20 funny disc with ear clip:

All Bluetooth headphones (and your $500 AirPods Max)

All gaming headsets

All in-store headphones that aren't that one set of Audio-Technicas

In other words, 100% of what the average consumer buys. Get them in on this simple trick.

If you like sound design, the sound design in Don't Starve is by far the best ive ever heard. It is the game that convinced me of your point.
