.. when your girlfriend turns and says to you: "It's like you have a gambling problem, but it's with headphones!"
 
My response, "HAHAHA, I'm going to have to tell the guys on the forum that one, they'll get a kick outta that!"
 
Girlfriend, "OH MY GOD!"

^ I love that about this hobby.
Back when I used to build gaming rigs, you would lose most of the value of the parts within 6 months/1 year.
Was pretty depressing seeing that cutting edge 6 grand rig degenerate to "mid/hi end" after 18 months.

That's why I don't get why people do it any case, especially considering that a performance PC of about $600 can still run most new games on high graphics.

The only thing you gain is bragging rights.


With headphones on the other hand the investment will have more or less the same value for years, yet you gain the same amount of bragging rights.

Some sport where the aim is to stack cups in set formats like (3, 6, 3), (1, 10 ,1) etc. etc.
 
Tried it once, failed miserably, tried it again and nearly sent an instructor into a concussion from one of my flying cups.

When you think Sennheiser HD600s running through two portable amps counts as "portable" and insist on taking them on bus commutes on days you feel you can't go the day without them...

 

[customcoco]

when you told your mother that you were a moderator on head fi to justify the time spent on the web looking for "audio stuff"...

 

[miceblue]

When you use the excuse "but I can wear my headphones" as an alternative to wearing a hat during cold weather. Not only do they keep your ears warm, but you can also use them to listen to music while on-the-go. 

 

[buckles]

You know you're an audiophile when friends on Facebook brag about how good Dr. Dre Beats are and you go on to recommend Grado, Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser 
...to which you recieve a blank "lolwut?"
 
 
...AND..
 
When you have to explain to your fiance why you spent money that should have gone towards the honeymoon on a set of cans...

Hardly the same; those dresses and shoes have little resale value, unless they are high-end fashion.
