I agree with you guys in general, but Sony makes great headphones,
especially in the bang-for-the-buck department. I would never buy a
Sony media player, but I will continue to buy their headphones,
speakers, and receivers when they present the best value.

I also agree with Godwin's boycott of Sony over the rootkit incident.
However, that was one branch of the company, and I don't feel that
buying audio gear from them is really supporting their Sony / BMG
wing.

But then again, I am a famous pragmatist... [1] :)
