We need more audiophile memes in this sub! The amount of pseudo-science bullshit is intense in the audio world, it is nearly overpowering for somebody new to it.

The people actually making the music: I mastered this album with the $100 audio technica headphones and checked if it sounded good in my car

Self proclaimed audiophiles listening to that same music: for about twenty thousand dollars you can get a basic setup, sure. But to really understand the artist’s intention you need at least a hundred grand

Literally.

And for those songs with too much dynamic range for a car, well, that's what the volume knob is for!

As long as I don't have to consider any tetrapods.

Songs are also mixed and mastered using equipment (headphones or monitors) with the flatest reponse as possible. You don't need super expensive gear to hear a song the way it was meant to be heard.

audiophile is just a synonym for a person who hates bass

What's someone who doesn't hate bass, they just hate your bass?

As an audiophile, this alt-j tune has great bass on a good system. (And when not played from YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBDunSOoXNo
