Just reading through a couple of threads and found the above analogy - an phrase which I have used many a time. However, though I understand the meaning, I did not understand why I would use it until this epiphenomenal moment: in boxing there are weight categories. I would not have thought about this, but yesterday, I happened upon a Youtube video of Bully Beatdown, a show I never knew existed.

Well, anyway, a cheap headphone which 'punches above its weight' actually means that it is fighting in a league which should outclass or outperform it entirely. Like me versus Lenox Lewis.

I am 69kg and he must be over 100, plus he has a reach that could stall traffic on the Trans-Canada highway.

Anyway, great moment of realisation for me! Do I hear a hoorah!?

We've all learnt something today.

Boxing is wonderful

Haha. Indeed. I've been listening to some top end customs lately, so I have very little which can punch above its weight: they all line the top, lovely lovely phones.
