Fact #1. When they first came around, headphones were a military device. Later, they entered the private sector through telephone and radio operations. They didn't truly become a staple in our way of life until the advent of the Walkman in the late 1970s. Nowadays, headphones are ubiquitous as denim jeans.
Fact #2. When you begin to look closely at the components that form most audiophile headphones, you can see that there aren't a whole lot of variables to adjust from brand to brand. A signal is converted from its digital state by a dense magnetized coil of copper wire that vibrates a membrane. The membrane is usually made of plastics, or fabrics, or a combination of the two. That sound hits you in the ear along with the resonance of the ear cup itself.
Fact #3. Since the primary point of signal conversion is the magnetized coil of wire, the quality of that magnetic field is about as vital as that of any other component. Many nicer headphones will use neodymium magnets. These are touted as the strongest permanent magnet available on the market.
Fact #4. Each style of music thrives at its own equalization. Knowing what your new set of headphones is designed to play will tell you how you ought to tweak your EQ for the best sound on your favorite tracks.

Fact #5. The advent of Beats by Dr. Dre have a lot to do with the trend of deep bass. Those headphones came along and told the marketplace that it needed as much bass as humanly possible. It's taken a while for manufacturers to fight back against this. Companies are now daring to reduce their bass output in favor of a clearer, more balanced sound.
