head-fi.org doesn't mean you are automatically an audiophile...
ok, great... not what i said at all. if you pay attention to the sigs of more than a few of those dudes over at head-fi, you quickly see that guys who own sets like the AKG K-1000 or Grado RS-1, also own sets like the AKG K271s, or Grado SR-60; the former being $700-$1000 (surely qualifying you for "audiophile" status); the latter $70-$150.
