hat is an Audiophile?

"Audiophiles are people who seek to listen to music at a level of quality as close to the original performance as possible. They use high-fidelity components to try and attain these goals. Most are music lovers who are passionate about high-quality music reproduction." in Wikipedia

Why do you want to choose Audiophile Headphones? Simple, if you want to have a set of audiophile grade speakers in your room you will have to spend a much larger amount then with a pair of headphones.

But that's not all. After you choose and buy a set of audiophile speakers you will have to have a room with optimal sound conditions. Most of us don't have such "room" in our houses to make a dedicated compartment to only listen to music.

That's why you should go for the headphones. Light, relatively portable, and much cheaper than any speakers you can find on the market.

For example compare the Sennheiser HD-650 headphones with an audiophile grade set of speakers. And you will be amazed by the price difference. It would be enough for you to buy yourself a decent source as well a decent amplifier.

Most of the audiophiles use tube amplifiers since their are best known to amplify the sound more naturally. This goes straight to the audiophile way of listening to music and enjoy it's pureness.
