    Bose QC35 headphones for me.

    They felt extravagently expensive at $300. But I’ve had them for 7 years now, wear them a few hours each day, and they still work like new. They sound amazing and the noise cancellation has had a tremendous positive effect on my sanity as an apartment-dweller.

    Every year I buy a replacement set of earcups for like $15. I’ll keep using them until they poop out.

        I don’t want to link to the website about a river that flows through Brazil on Lemmy, but I’ve found that just picking the top generic option on there works fine. IMO the Bose brand replacements aren’t noticeably better for their 2x markup.
