I saw this on the BBC website this morning and thought it might be of interest to the rest of you Head-Fi'ers. What do people think about this anti-social theory? Are we the worst of the lot?
I know I've on occasion certainly (perhaps perversely) enjoyed knowing that people can't talk to me when I'm out and about with my IEMs on.
Though the main thrust of article was interesting, I also really liked the quote from Andreas Pavel (our spiritual father?) regarding his experience with the first portable prototype of headphones + source:
A secondary point for discussion: I don't know much about headphone history, so if the BBC article is inaccurate in crediting Pavel as the founding father of portable audio, I would love to hear about it!

- "It was like a dream. It is the pleasure of the music combined with the vision of your environment. You are putting a soundtrack to life so that it becomes like a film."
