I love my modular synthesizer, although the cost of it is not good value for money so probably can't count as my best tech purchase.

My sim racing rig has the same issue, it's bought me thousands of hours of joy but is prohibitively expensive.

My ergodox mechanical keyboard is a solid contender. The original model, Hand built, cherry MX clears. It's lasted easily 10 years and I hate typing on anything else.

But I think it's probably my headphones. Beyerdynamics DT770 pro's. They sound great, they're super comfy, and not terribly expensive. I've had them for probably 10 years and I see no reason I won't have them till the day I die

Nice, I also mentioned my DT770s. They're basically invincible.

Edit: I also had the original ergodox with mx clears, sadly I never could get used to the layout so I passed them on to a friend.
