And therein lies the rub. I love music, so much so that the last thing I want to spend my life listening to are 'audiophile approved recordings'. Quite apart from the fact that 99% (made up statistic) of music was NEVER neutral or naturally recorded, produced or mastered, where is the value of such headphones to anyone who isn't either a recording engineer with intimate knowledge of his microphones, or a headphone obsessive with a playlist of half a dozen songs ? I'm curious... genuinely.
