They are practical for some people.
1) first gen have no noise isolation/cancellation, which means I can't use them in noisy environments.
2) I have children. They will be eaten, played with and generally put places I am not party to.
3) pros have noise cancelling, which is ok but they don't work in places where peak noise is 75 db+ (ie loud train/car), The noise isolation is uncomfortable to get a good seal, though its less for some people.
But again, you are missing the broad thrust, they are headphones, not a platform.
