This is clearly just a big "fuck you" to his neighbors since they are probably filthy rich too if they are living next to him and would not have a problem buying noise cancelling headphones.

I don't think it is. I've rubbed shoulders with the 1% on a few occasions and they tend to give shit like this the way we give out candy. I've heard of little gift baggies worth over 1k distributed in large numbers, and me being impressed by that was surprising to the person talking about it. He acted like it was $30-$60 when he was talking. It's spending on a completely different scale. Headphones are not a statement. They're an afterthought.

It's probably not even like what 30-60 is to us... more like a 5.
