- The implication of the posing mirrors seems to be that how they look on you is at least as important as how they sound.
That reminds me of the last time my wife bought snowboard boots. After trying them on the sales guy brough her a mirror.
Apparantly she was the first women/girl who did not care how they looked!
I'm glad that I bought my HD650's when I did as even Sennheiser seems to be succumbing to fashion-statement-itis:

Nothing creepy about that, huh?
At first that was hillarious...then it just got weird!
The CNN piece is interesting as it covers public perception. I've said it before: There needs to be an entry level. People aren't going to be enticed into the hobby if they think they have to pay $1K just for a power cord to plug it in.
Thoughts?
I think there is plenty of excellent entry-level items, what needs to change is this stupid notion that you have to pay to get good, and therefore low price=junk.
