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?!
So you gave your friend some cheapo headphones and asked them to listen to album they’ve never heard before and are surprised that they couldn’t tell a difference. Jfc the condescension in this sub is cringe. You need to understand that some people won’t hear a difference or simply don’t care.
The problem is elitists imo. I‘ve used headphones anywhere between 50 and thousands of euros but to degrade a decent pair while the post is about headphone vs. tablet speaker is missing the point.
