And yeah, you really don't look professional when you're wearing your headphones backward in a studio. Fail.
You're expecting too much. A vocalist does not need accurate stereo reproduction to record vocals. Same with DJs. Though I would concede that a DJ should at least know that if his headphones are on backwards, a cue in the left ear is playing on the right channel.
Sometimes it's more practical to have the cord on the right side while monitoring, or while laying down vocals. To reach my drink, hold my blunt, more comfortably turn, or whatever. It doesn't mean I fail. It means I'm mindful of my craft and not a dogmatic pouch of feminine wash.
