The neutrality point is kind of interesting because if the sound engineers start adjusting recordings to sound best though Beats headphones (or other audio 'enhancers'), then the recording will actually sound 'worse than intended' if it's listened to through a neutral system....

I've been with artists in the studio and in post-production... a point that most audiophiles miss is this: Who says the artists knew what the hell they were doing?

Not to mention one of my favorite quotes on audiophiles:

"Regular people buy sound systems to listen to their music. Audiophiles buy music to listen to their sound system."
