By experience, I mean the experience you get from using the product, I don't mean the money spending experience. Audiophile industry definitely provides you the spending experience but that's not what I expect from products.


You must be more than average rich if buying apple products does not give you a "money spending experience".

Product experience is, debatable, having used at least one product, I can "imagine" how they can improve it.

While at the same time, having duped by the audiophile industry as well, the product was also great (i got those shure headphones).

What I am saying is sure there is no denying of experience wise of both spending/product, there is definitely a gap in the cost and worth of the product.

Man, its painful on my eyes to even read stuff like that, how you contradict yourself within few lines. It would help to have some rational discussion about pros and cons, but you undermine the pro-Apple side pretty badly.

In this case Apple isn't doing anything magical or novel, there are similar products on the market for 1/4 of the price, looking better, possibly even sounding better. But sure go ahead and buy them, there are tons of folks buying 'quality' like Bose, Beats or similar.

I'll keep my cable plugged for my Sennheisers, but my main criteria is sound quality.


Can you please point out the contradiction?
