One item I spent more than expected was a pair of earphones. I bought them for 700, which was much more than I had planned. At first, I only wanted to spend around 500, but I chose two expensive ones because they had great sound quality. I bought them because I needed good earphones for studying and listening to music. The cheaper ones I had before were not comfortable and broke easily. I think I spent more than expected because I wanted something that would last longer and work better in the end. I feel it's worth the extra money because I use them every day.
