I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Yeah, it's the same with USB cables. Technically they should all be equal. But after having all 3 cables in a pack of 3 fail within a few months of buying I only get one of the at least recognised brands now. Considering some of the higher power charging modes available now, you want a cable that really can handle the currents it says it can.

HDMI it's generally the case, you want a decent brand for build quality. But when you see the "audiophile" rated stuff for digital signalling cables, then it's time to move on.
