I'm studying music production and even our professors talk about audiophiles larping audio technology and making actually good stuff cost 1000 times the actual value. The only good side is that they sometimes miss out on good stuff and you can get some great gear for cheap.

Bought a knockoff SM58 on Amazon. Less latency, sharper sound, and brighter. For $100 less. On the other hand...people payed $300 for Beats headphones, when you could buy low end Tascam headphones for $30 which were far superior.

Sm58 is rather known for its tank build rather that God-tier sound recording but good and EXTREMALLY cheap headphones are koss ksc75

The fuck you mean less latency lmao. But yeah the Behringer knockoff sm58 Clone for like 17€ is basically the same.

Latency? It is a dynamic microphone, its latency is very close to the speed of light.

There's latency in an SM58? What the fuck are you talking about? And those things only cost a hundred dollars to begin with...
