I strongly agree with you. My headphones are 10€, last forever and I have 2 pairs in a drawer. I'm still 100€ below the cheapest airPods and no one ever complained.
My phone is 5 years old, but since it does what I want: email, WhatsApp/Signal, Spotify, Podcast, Maps... I can stand having less shiny pictures of my kids. I don't care, I'm still having the moments, pics are just the reminder, and their sharpness is just secondary.

Amusingly and while I have never used airpod and generally get the gist of your idea, headphones are probably one of the product with the largest difference between entry level and mid-range in my experience . I can’t hear the difference between a 100$ and a 1000$ headphone but the 10$ one is easy to spot.
- xcambar 5y agoAgreed. My line of thought is that I don't want to isolate from the outsides because I don't like it and it's dangerous. So cheap is enough outside. In more controlled environments (home, office), isolation is either a requirement (focus on meetings) or a pleasure (music) so I go for it and spend more on these areas.
