| Anyone who blasts music at jet engine levels to mask outside noise is just plain stupid. Since I've invested a fair amount of money on high end audio equipment (iPod included) I like to consider myself an audiophile of sorts, and even when going to concerts I carry a pack of silicone earplugs with m... |
