In the wacky world of marketing they have won if they get you to peeling
labels.

I more like ignore them, I know the truth in this matter and evaluate
such equipment correctly. I ration what I stress out about.

You could always buy Sony MDR-V900's instead. No stickers on the
headphones and I like them. Just ignore the packaging.
