Audiophile?

Audiophile is a person who loves sound characteristic and can compare sound in detail, also has taste of sound characteristic.
Firstly, being an audiophile is not about swag! Products like Beats by Dr. Dre, Skullcandy are just swagger brands. The sound you get from swagger brands are just bassy, boomy, even just equals to under $50 headphones. Even those artists, actors, famous people used it (in the advertisement photos), remember they're just paid to use it. Don't get easily believe the hype!

Before buying an audio setup or an audio stuff, choose audio shop where you can try them freely. So you can decide which audio setup meets your taste of sound the most. The more you listen/try some setups, the more you can compare sounds. You will know what is soundstage, decay, timbre, and many other kind of sounds. But being too technical isn't good, because the keynote of listening music is to enjoy it.

Happy listening~! Find your taste!
