Going through the tour gives you a greater appreciation of the effort that goes into high quality sound equipment. It is not as simple as slapping together a few pieces of metal and magnets. Despite what some conspiracy theorists might tell you, there is a difference between cheap, token earbuds that come with most mp3 players and higher priced, quality equipment.</p>
