As a headphone enthusiast (and in my case, reviewer), you want to try out as many different kinds of headphones as you possibly can. Whether that's the latest wired over ears, made boutique-style in a small room by hand, or fresh off a factory production line to get stamped with a ‘Sony’ logo, you want to hear what they’re like.
The problem, of course, is space, and, to perhaps a larger degree, cost. Headphones are not cheap with some of the best costing tens of thousands of dollars. I’m lucky enough to have tried out some of the most expensive headphones around (and they left me changed, unrecognizable) — but not everyone might have the opportunity.
