I loved that analogy. Will be using it for the rest of my life to defend myself whenever this topic comes up. Which is it because I'm buying SE530s. Just wanted to say, amazing analogy!

It truly amazes me how ignorant people are when it comes for headphones. They'll accept a hobby like souping up one's car no problem but gods forbid they discover that you spent more than a double mocha steaming pile espresso on a pair of cans.
"It makes my music sound better" is somehow a less acceptable defense than "it makes my car look pretty and go faster [size=xx-small]and makes up for what I lack in my pants[/size]."
I know the latter is a stereotype[size=xx-small](?)[/size]. It's about as ignorant as writing off a headphone junkie.
