Context: I told a friend to listen to Daft Punk‘s RAM because he had never heard the album before. After recommending to use a pair of headphones he‘s proceeded to tell me that he was actually listening on his tablet. The headphones in question are the AKG K371s. Marketing does what marketing does I suppose?!
LPT: don't make recommendations unless people are asking, even then don't
Yep. 99.9 times out of 100 no matter how much advice you give someone on any subject, they will end up doing whatever they feel like at the time.
friend: hello, my audiophile friend. any recommendation for a headphone under $500 for music and movies on my home computer?
you: i don't fucking know. just google it
