I'm not much for headphones either. Even back in the day when all you could get were the large padded ones, it just didn't sound the same. The music didn't feel "free" somehow.


That's mostly because the headphone out on most gear was an afterthought, not the design priority. Some of the best headphones still are the large padded ones. Headphone listening has come a very long way IMO. Check out Head-Fi to see for yourself.
