The Zeros running straight out of my phone give me sound way beyond anything that would be attainable in my small and oddly configured living room no matter how much I spent on speakers. Plus my wife likes classical music but doesn't necessarily want to hear it played loudly for hours every evening.The sad thing is, no person ever - not even most ASR fans - would believe that this 20 $ headphone is a record breaker.
We are spoiled with good audio tech nowadays, aren't we? Not having to spend a fortune for a perfect system.
