I remember a video of Linus from LTT going to check out the Sennheiser factory and their high end electro static ($ 19,000 at the time) headset had like a 40% quality fail. Because only the best would be branded as their high end devices.
Most of the ones that didn't pass were still absolutely fine, just not hitting all the frequencies correctly so they went in the $8000 bin.
Exact same product just some were slightly less performing but still more than useful as a lesser quality product.
Which iirc Linus commented on after initial surprise to see such a high failure rate.
Now that's a good brand that cares about quality, lesser manufacturers.....
