Yeah exactly my point. People are now going to start arguing that the reviews are not 'audiophile' enough, even though the audiophile field has far more specific focus than what most people can appreciate considering hearing ability, genre interests, environment, past experiences and technical understanding.
Basically Apple's formula: take something from an 'enthusiast' level of a product. Build a reasonable quality thing around that, slap on a 'upper consumer/lower enthusiast' price on it and market it as the 'the coolest thing of these ever made' and...
You get all the mostly regular consumers suddenly arguing in the between space: they are better than all the other regular consumers but too cool to be an enthusiast nerd. GG Apple.
