Listening, they say, is the most difficult of things. Yet, this rare quality is crucial to an audiophile. On Sunday, Mumbai will witness a large outpouring of individuals who share their love for music, technology and headphones converge at an Andheri venue for an audiophile meet-up, Headphone Connect, a community for headphone fans.

“An audiophile feels passionately about the music, but also cares deeply about the way it sounds and feels,” explains Raghav Somani, CEO and founder, Headphone Zone. Somani’s irritation at not finding the right headphones to listen to his favourite AR Rahman number led him to form his company in 2011, and the first event in 2015. Since then, he has discovered others who walk his path.
