This is false, but diminishing returns in high end audio are pretty dramatic.

Headphones aren't really my thing though, I'm into two channel stuff

the apple, sony and bose options aren't the audiophile options, which are generally wired and 3x the price point.

over-the-ear noise canceling headphones are CR. i'm wearing some right now and can't hear my neighbor's loud landscaping.

AirPods Pro or other in-ear types are significantly less effective at noise cancelation.

You can get Chink brands that are 90% as good for 1/3rd the price.

Unless you're GC NPC, go for the chink brands.

Nah even cheaper than that

These used to be branded as Ludacris Soul headphones with $300 msrp

They're functionally equivalent to Beats and Sony

Bowers & Wilkins PX, I've had my pair for over 8 years and they have been worth every penny. I fly ~weekly for work plus use them on the lawn tractor, when working out, etc. so they haven't had an easy life but have stayed working perfectly.

Hard recommend.

The Sony ear bud version is good enough for flights and most uses (also keep white noise app on phone for extra benefit). Not as effective as the over-ear version, but over-ear gives you "hat head" (not an issue for bald lawyers)

sony xm4's are still the best one of the mainstream options and are a model generation behind so are now a good deal chaper.

airpods for the gym, noise canceling is good enough to block out most background bs

over the ear from and credible brand will make long haul flights much much better. it's understated how exhausting the aircraft drone is
