gaming chair, it's really comfortable, so I can sit longer without back or neck pain
insurance for headphones, usually the ones I had would break after about 2 years, just after the warranty, after buying insurance I don't have to worry about that for the next 5
Apply the same logic you did to chair acquisition to headphones. Yes, the good stuff costs more, but also lasts longer. I bought top-end turtle beaches a while back and actually saved because I can use them on my work and home machines, and they sound great. Metal band, low pleather (which always fails after 6 mo to a year), great sound, Bluetooth, 2 dongles for 2 devices. Win.
