Is there really any noticeable difference though?
Reason I ask is a mate used to have a job installing car stereos, for about 6 years. In that time he learned a LOT about the trade, and when installing mine (which was although decent Pioneer gear, it was second hand) he told me that he read about some magazine that did some listening tests with some of the best sound engineers in New York. They could not tell the difference in quality between a $1,000 system and a $15,000 system of the same wattage and speaker setup and eq.
So a lot of it is wank, IMO. Unless you want a lot of headroom at high volume.
wow what a fucking retarded piece of logic
$1,000-$15,000 is all pretty 'high end', as far as casual consumer audio equipment goes
the difference between an entry-level $20 set of earbuds and some properly designed mid-range ones is far more noticeable.
lucien... what makes you think they'll last 2 years at least? i used my shures every day and have got through about 3 pairs in 2 years
