Walking through Heathrow\u2019s terminal 5 at New Year I noticed the sheer volume of people wearing headphones and earbuds. From street style kids wearing Dr Dre cans to \u2018suited chaps\u2019 with B&amp;O\u2019s very \u2018clean looking devices\u2019 right back to studious girls with classic retro AKGs to match their 35mm camera with black and white film. All styles can be expressed with the vast array of headphones on the market but in the end the wearer slots deeply into a world of beautiful self indulgence that no one can invade. What they hear no one else can experience, their soundtrack, their ears, their space.<\/p>\n<p>So taken by this New Years Revelation I went straight to a shop and bought my self a pair of self indulgent cans. In our noisy world it is nice to choose your own soundtrack&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without a doubt the most self indulgent item of Hi-fi has got to be headphones.
