Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

Are nerds all audiophiles tho? 320kbps is usually fine. $300 speakers are usually fine. Nerds do the research, audiophiles are seeking unobtanium.
No, but I’d say that all audiophiles are nerds
What about gamers? What do you think all those cool designs are for?
Yeah, I’m not an audiophile, but I do care about my audio. I by things that give a really good bang for my money, I don’t chase the top end of the top end. My headphones cost something like $100, my desktop speakers were about that much as well, and they’re both incredible. I’m not going to chase that last 5% or whatever that’s going to drain my wallet, I just want something solid that’s not going to break in 6 months.
I did blow $300 on headphones mostly because I was extremely underwhelmed with bass on cheaper ones. That’s where I’m at - research the best thing for my use case in my budget, and sometimes my budget increases based on my research.
I don’t have the money and much equipment for it, but I’m a little bit of one. Ever since I got a pretty damn good quality pair of bluetooth headphones last Christmas, I have absolutely wanted nothing more than to use them on everything because sound quality is divine.
I crave high quality sound because I listen to music and videos way too much for my own good.
