Yeah, I'm not an audiophile, but I do care about my audio. I by things that give a really good bang for my money, I don't chase the top end of the top end. My headphones cost something like $100, my desktop speakers were about that much as well, and they're both incredible. I'm not going to chase that last 5% or whatever that's going to drain my wallet, I just want something solid that's not going to break in 6 months.
I did blow $300 on headphones mostly because I was extremely underwhelmed with bass on cheaper ones. That's where I'm at - research the best thing for my use case in my budget, and sometimes my budget increases based on my research.
