31 Things That Are Not Worth the Money

Thousand-Dollar Headphones

AKG N90Q Headphones: $1,499.95

It’s generally true that the more you pay for headphones, the more you’ll get in terms of sound quality and added features such as Bluetooth or noise canceling, but you don’t need to spend over $1,000 to get a good pair of headphones — especially if having all the extra bells and whistles isn’t that important to you. Review site Wirecutter rated the Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II as the best noise-canceling headphones, and they cost only $349 — a far cry from headphones that cost more than your rent.
