I saw number people wearing beats here and there since it's "in" for some people and i wouldn't necessary put it past certain people to use them in public, then again, it still might look good with some people.

Are these necessary related in your mind?

What are you even implying there?

>you have magnepans or audiophile level speakers on the wall

Some people just want to listen "intimately", at least from time to time ...

>but would listen to your shit through a fucking head phones

I don't own such headphones or sound equipment in range as i posted in >>7948529, but i use >picture related< headphones with headphones amplifier and i can hear and possibly feel details of music (if recording goes over 20kHz range) i can't hear with my speakers, then again, they are Genius 5.1, which are not necessary for more detailed music listening.
