Open buyer-choice study · Over-ear headphones
Help build a public record of the trade-offs people make when a product has a price and an alternative. Start with over-ear headphones; your honest answer can be one, neither, or not enough information.
No account, no gift cards, and no purchase required. Participation is voluntary; stop whenever you like.
The question
Not “which brand do you like?” and not an objective sound-quality contest. Each answer records the two models and the reference prices shown. Like-for-like over-ear matchups keep this first invitation focused.
We want to learn where the extra cost changes a preference, and when neither product feels worth the money. Optional reasons let you explain what mattered without writing a review.
Before you answer
Prices are US/USD manufacturer reference snapshots. Every card shows its observation date. They may differ from today’s offer, and a manufacturer link may now lead to another generation.
Use the price displayed to answer this hypothetical buying question. Check the exact model and checkout price separately before purchasing. SirDeal has not lab-tested these products.

This is a self-selected public beta, not a representative survey. Choices are hypothetical, not verified purchases or product reviews. Ten answers from one visitor are not ten independent people.
A random browser identifier supports repeat participation and is hashed before storage. We do not ask for your name or email. Clearing browser storage can break that continuity; it does not make a new person.
This is the total across all styles and modes, not a participant count or a study-only sample. An original over-ear findings report has not been published.
Numbered rankings wait for the existing publication floor: at least 100 catalogue choices and battle history across every product in the comparison group. That is an operational floor, not statistical certainty. Any future study report must separately disclose its actual sample and coverage.
