100+ Head-Fier
Here are some stats. Easy to pull up since the headphone market is HUGE and projected to grow by around 7% .I get what you are saying and I agree that most young people prefer personal audio over a stereo (they will rather buy a Bluetooth speaker) but I think that the age drastically increases after the 400/500 or even the 250 dollar mark in both headphones and IEMs.
How old are you btw if you don’t mind me asking?
Cheers man
Here’s the table showing the average headphone usage by age groups:
Age group | Headphone usage per week | Headphone usage per month | Headphone usage per year |
---|---|---|---|
19-29 years | 7.8 hours | 33.9 hours | 405.6 hours |
30-49 years | 5.5 hours | 23.9 hours | 286 hours |
50-79 years | 5.2 hours | 22.6 hours | 270.4 hours |
According to the Canadian survey, young people use headphones more and considerably longer than older generations.
In the 19-29 age group, most use headphones or earphones from 6.2 hours to 9.3 hours per week with a 95% confidence interval. This means most people’s use of headphones will fall into this rage.
- In a 2017 study, 88.6% of adolescents listened to headphones every day or at least a few times a week.
