"....compared to turntables, headphones account for a much larger part of the consumer tech industry."

20 times, in fact, in dollar terms - according to this 2016 data.

Hi owen,

That's actually sales volume not dollars. I suspect that most headphone guys have more than one set whereas most Turntable guys only have the one ?

Yeah OK so I have 3 turntables and currently 4 sets of headphones but have given away or sold at least twice that amount in the period where I grew interested in headphones...

Hi guitardude - see Gross Annual Sales in USD, in the article.

Is this surprising? Ida thunk the headphone market far bigger than the turntable market had the question been put to me...?
