You know you're an audiophile when you blow off hanging out with your closest friends just to listen to those new cans or IEM at home.
When you cringe at the businessmen beside you in the apple store debating how "good beats are" while there's a perfectly amazing pair of UE900s below them.
It's 37 years old
And still better than many headphones I've had, which is kind of pathetic. Given a choice between the 4AAA and the M50, I'd choose the 4AAA, if that tells you anything.

I'm actually getting the M50s for christmas. They may be over-hyped but they are good, especially as they'll be my first entry into the audiophile world of which I am loving. They are a good base starting point I think.
When it perplexes and annoys you that every single listing on eBay misspells the word "audiophile".
No kidding, every single listing spells it as "audiofile". Have yet to see someone spell it right.
Maybe they're targeting music as their audience. After all, mp3s and flacs work just as hard all day as we do, and when they go home and relax, they kick up their feet, throw on their favorite headphones, and put on their favorite tunes just like us. So why not take advantage of the lucrative market of selling exclusively to audio files?
You know you're an audiophile when yourfirstonly thought for a gift for somebody is audio-related.
In my case, this has largely been true this year. With the exception of one person (a fellow Head-Fier ironically), all of my gifts this year are audio-related. I wouldn't call it mania though. I just happen to know that they all listen with crap gear, and I'm performing errands of mercy.
