The sommeliers of the technology world. The perfect storm of electric hypochondria and placebo-gooning.

As with most things, there's a kernel of truth in amongst the dross. You will have a nicer time with a set of £70 headphones than with a £3.99 set. You will have a nicer time with a FLAC file than a 64kbps MP3 of the same song. But there's a very low ceiling of improvement that both physics and physiology will prevent you from surpassing. Maybe in the future with brain implants and shit like that we can start ramping up the fidelity of our listening abilities, but until then, you're just trickling an ocean through a literal bottleneck and insisting you're drowning in it.

Just listen to the damn music.
