My new strategy is to sell my old clothes to ThredUp and use the credit to get “new” clothes from them.

Nope, your comparison doesn't work. This video only showcases the making of the wood shell. The sound of headphones has only a marginal relation to this particular component. Imax theatres have big sound for more reasons than the size of the room alone.

So there's a lavish, hand made lacquered wood shell. Doesn't mean these things sound any good.

Every individual pair of Beats were handcrafted by Dre from the finest materials to produce flawless, immaculate sound quality.

I go on a rampage occasionally where I spend about $5k on items and I try and compare them.

I did that last year with headphones/earphones and tried every range and also DAC/Amps.

It is said that audiophiles use their hardware to listen to the music, and music lovers listen to the music with their hardware.

I enjoy…

i don't get it. There is nothing special about the product, except the knowledge that the exterior of the cans were made by hand. They could easily be machined.

All I witnessed here was a really expensive paint job. Nothing about the video suggests anything about the sound quality. If I give a shitty car a new paint job, it's just a pretty shitty car

I have been doing this for years by creating symlinks using Sysinternals Junction. I recently created a small .NET program to do this for me instead of using the command line.

This can be accomplished most simply, I think, by way of symlinks. This can be done on any OS; native in OSX, it's just a little trickier in Windows, but see this Lifehacker article from 2010 for more info.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/co…
