I know what it means to be financially challenged. Therefore I understand those who by necessity use a quality inexpensive headphone (Like the Koss KSC75’s). There is however something that I just don’t understand. Judging by member’s signatures and profiles there are many members who have multiple (sometimes 12+) inexpensive headphones. Why? To me it would make more sense to get one very high quality headphone. Since you can only use one headphone at a time getting one really good one makes much more sense to me. Or am I just crazy?
Or are they just collectors? If you collect high performance headphones it could be argued that you are in it for the sound quality as well as the joy of collecting. If you’re collecting cheap headphones the collecting has clearly trumped sound quality.
