Beyerdynamic or Audio Technica are my companies of choice and of course they sell super high end expensive stuff but also their $100-$200 bracket is still amazingly good (like the DT-990 Pro).
I’d rather invest that money once than buy new headphones every year.
I’ll never have the kind of money necessary to own a high end set of cans ($500+).
You don’t need $500. You can get good audio for half of that. Probably less. Definitely less if you ship second hand
FLACs through a half decent DAC and amp in something like an LG phone sound amazing on $100 audiotechnicas
The recent $25 Moondrop Old Fashioned, for example, have some of the best vocal reproduction I’ve ever heard!

Add FiiO to the list. They’re currently eating everyone’s lunch.
Currently using a fiio headphone Amp with an old pair of beyer dynamics I found used. Great little product.
