Why does this quote remind me of Fawlty Towers? hmm Basil: Is there something wrong? Elder Herr: Will you stop talking about the war? Basil: Me! You started it! Elder Herr: We did not start it! Basil: Yes you did — you invaded Poland.

Point taken about portable gear, in which case iems are likely to be winners vs "headphones" in terms of isolation ,sound quality + portability. But what about the domestic use case, where speakers may not be an option (due to neighbors in an apartment, or spouses etc) and portability is less of a concern. Where do we reach the inflection point of diminishing returns in this case?

Two quid in the UK == $6.95 + tax in the US ( from Barnes & Noble , only place left , Borders = Gone, Tower Records = Gone) .

^ You've omitted viewing distance. ~300 dpi at 10-12 inches according to His Jobsness. I'll leave it to the math nerds to work that out in terms of angular resolution ( the angle subtended by one pixel at the eye ) . But good enough if you assume you view your monitor screens from the same distance.
