Many moons ago I found myself making parts for the audiophile community. Eventually I got in to making complete headphones. Designing and building audiophile headphones is a multi-modal skill that is very engaging. I was pretty good at it. But I had to exit the audiophile world because it was too crazy for me.

I would get messages from customers that were completely insane. And if you say "yo, that's insane" word gets out and it damages your brand. So you're rewarded for perpetuating these weird myths.

If I could build these really cool headphones without having to deal with audiophiles, I probably would. It was challenging and a lot of fun, and I was pretty good at it.



consider doing an AMA on reddit! i’d love to hear all about this
