I like his choice: starting from the La Marzocco at home, through the Hasselblad camera, and all the scroll saw, drill press, etc. Every man's essentials. But

But I was surprised by his choice of Bang & Olufsen for music. For example, his Sennheiser headphones are mostly for hearing sound as it is, while B&O always tries to 'enhance' sound in their own way. It doesn’t match much.

For example, his Sennheiser headphones are mostly for hearing sound as it is, while B&O always tries to 'enhance' sound in their own way. It doesn’t match much. I feel like I can identify with that. I have a pair of AKG studio headphones for recording music and listening for "mistakes" in mixes, but otherwise mostly B&O Hi-Fi speakers. To me, the sound is more "immersive" and emotionally captivating than e.g. studio monitors, and they still have lots of detail. (Plus, there’s the issue of them looking as nice as they do and being very easy to set up — it makes them easy to live with). Just my 2 cents.
- dole 1y agoimho, people buy B&O for the design, not for the sound quality
