Then after you buy a bunch of hi-fi audio equipments you realised it’s all just placebo. So you keep the pair you liked the most and combine a dinky phone with headphone jack and micro sd card slot you then proceed to sell off the junks you’ve accumulated all these years.
Honestly for headphones this is the case. There’s absolute crap low to mid segment. But there is really really good stuff mid segment. The main quality factor for headphones to me is how comfortable they feel for you, physically, on your ears. Supergood sound but bad feel = very unpleasant.
I can only imagine that you’re assuming that to be the case, or your hearing is damaged worse that mine - because I can’t imagine anyone that has heard decent audio reproduction saying that. And I’m not being some audiophile snob - you can get decent reproduction from a $10 DAC and $20 IEMs if you do a bit of research before buying.
Alright, I’m gonna be frank here. I’m just a casual albums enjoyer whose comfortable with a bt dac around 50 bucks and under, paired with an atypical iem ranges £20 >. As long as I can enjoy my tunes and the teensy bit of details from aforementioned things. It’s pretty pointless to just crave for kilobucks or more hi-fidelity toys if all you’d receive is a tuning ranging from decent(as with the cheapo pair you’re currently own) to Ultrasone’s Edition 10 treble. Sure, the more premium sets has better soundstages and yeah, it sure can make some people cries when they can hear just a little bit more of “the details” they haven’t notices before. But idk, it feels scammy when you wanted to scratch the itch with an expensive stick that function just the same.
Also fuck you for assuming I have hearing damages. My ear can steel hear what my neighbours from across the street shit talking about.

You can pry my tube amp from my cold, dead hands.
