I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

My headphone pads on a pair of Sony MD7506 were fraying apart, so I bought a pair of $3 replacement pads online. While I was buying those, I noticed a nice looking $30 pair made of sheepskin leather. I bought those, too and figured I'd just use the $3 pair until they inevitably wore out, and then switch to the nice ones. Well, it's been some time now and the $3 pair are apparently far more robust than their forebears. The sheepskin remain in their packaging untouched. One day..

Just switch out to the sheep. Can always switch back later. You deserve it.

Seriously. Don't let the sunken cost fallacy keep you from enjoying something premium that you bought
