Agreed, but there is some merit to taking into consideration the opinions of a guy who has listened to, like, all of the IEMs.

I feel the same way about video games. I follow lots of reviewers (such as Jeff Gerstmann). My preferences do not often align with his, but he has reviewed so many games that I can use his perspective as a baseline to determine if I’ll enjoy the game or not. The important thing is that the reviewer is consistent and transparent with their methods and biases.
