I record videos for a small audience on YouTube and no one complained or even noticed about a drop in sound quality. Now, I do use some audio filters while I record, but I always have even with better equipment. The take away is that you don't need to spend hundreds for quality sound. A cheap $18 pair of headphones work just fine. My only nitpick, the sound canceling effect around your ears was a little better with the more expensive set I replaced. A bit of noise leaks in and out with these. But for $18 it's a very minor nitpick.
