The people actually making the music: I mastered this album with the $100 audio technica headphones and checked if it sounded good in my car
Self proclaimed audiophiles listening to that same music: for about twenty thousand dollars you can get a basic setup, sure. But to really understand the artist’s intention you need at least a hundred grand
Songs are also mixed and mastered using equipment (headphones or monitors) with the flatest reponse as possible. You don’t need super expensive gear to hear a song the way it was meant to be heard.

And for those songs with too much dynamic range for a car, well, that’s what the volume knob is for!

audiophile is just a synonym for a person who hates bass
As an audiophile, this alt-j tune has great bass on a good system. (And when not played from YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBDunSOoXNo
What’s someone who doesn’t hate bass, they just hate your bass?
A jealous fisherman
Hater.
