I have purchased Samsung Buds Pro, AirPods Pro 2, Sony MDR-7506, Bose QC45, Sennheiser by Beyerdynamic, and some products from lesser-known brands. All of them are brand new and have no performance issues. However, I can only hear sound in both ears, and none of them have made me think they sound good.Even when spatial audio is turned on.Many years ago, I bought a random pair of headphones for only 8 dollars, but it gave me a good feeling, and for many times when I used it, I was almost unsure whether the sound was coming from nature or from the headphones, and his voice was also good in the audio files with no spatial feeling, and I clearly remember that after changing in, I heard a lot of details that I couldn't hear from the same cheap headphones. I don't think so, at less than a tenth of the price I can get the frequency response distortion of these parameters than the headphones I bought later. What are the conditions that make my experience far better than the subsequent purchase of the device? This has puzzled me for many years.

Nothing as personal as a headphone and its coupling to one's head and taste.
The headphone that is one person's 'great' may be another person's 'meh' and vice versa.
There simply is not a single 'best' headphone... there are several 'excellent' ones in almost every price range for every person. One just needs to find it.
Also... when one finds a comfortable headphone these often can also be EQ'ed to sound great to.
That said ... you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
Simply enjoy what you have and when you want something 'different' try a few others.

But what frustrates me is that the headset got soaked in water and broke after a short time of use, and there is no way to buy another one. The subsequent products that cost about $100 to $200 are not as good as that cheap product.

What frustrated me was that the headphones didn't take long before they accidentally broke into the water, and there was no way to buy them again, and the subsequent experience of these products of about $100 to $200 was not as good as that cheap product

When you plan on making a dive in a pool, lake, river, see/ocean ... take off your headphones 
The ability to be immersed for a certain period is not a quality thing.
The cheaper it is made (all plastic parts) the better it can handle immersion in water most likely.
As for availability of replacements. The better brands (more expensive ones) usually have a longer service period and availability of spare parts.
That could be worth something when one is careful with their headphones.
