Are they more of a technophile than an audiophile?

Could a retrophile be someone who prefers the technology of the past over modern technology? As an example, would a retrophile prefer a compact cassette Sony Walkman over an iPod?

↑ ↑ was that a reply rather than a question? Do I find it difficult to write a question as a reply (Yes)? Is this what makes it a fun game?
Who would not prefer a walkman - a modernist? |

Would a pair of Koss PortaPros suit you? Wouldn't this video provide you with advice?

For music, is any headphone better than a Koss Pro/4 AAA?

Isn't it true that there are diminishing returns when you increase the amount you spend on headphones? Isn't it true that just because you have spent $200 on a pair of headphones doesn't mean that they are 10 times better than a pair that cost you $20?

Perhaps it depends on age? You gradually lose hearing range as you get older.

Isn't reduction on the frequency range you can hear a normal part of aging? Wouldn't that be a reason to not worry about headphones with an extremely wide range of frequency response?

What if a young person is the one buying the headphones?

Was I young when I bought those headphones? Is 1977 so long ago now?
Was choosing a headphone set for their extremely flat frequency response over the entire audible range a bad idea? |
