Thread made me think of this:

Dr Oishi has been behind a few pairs of headphones, and Tyll talks a little bit about his academic background and how he "got there." Looks like acoustics and electrical engineering is broadly the path he took.

Sounds like you want to be either an acoustic engineer or sound engineer. I'd say electrical engineering has more to do with dacs and amps than making headphones or mixing and mastering music.
