Audiophiles: how is the market for quality sound systems doing? Do people still buy living room amp/speaker systems and attach to TVs? Feels like everyone just gives up and uses headphones or simple built-in speakers on TVs/computers/phones these days. And afaik speaker tech hasn’t gotten much smaller physically.

I have two JBL studio monitors in my office I got back in 2019. pretty happy with them & don't see myself upgrading anytime soon.

for nearly a decade before ipods, I was using wireless headphones at the gym. the latest ipod pros have been better than any sennheiser or shure product I've ever used for exercising.
