Was not sure what should have been expected here, but this is not much of an instructional video as it is a "survey" of currently available headphones, large, medium and small. I would have thought it would cover the basic criteria for selecting a set of head phones in general, the differences between types, relevance of technical specifications and matching the types of headphones to ones personal taste and application. Going through the current models of headphones from multiple manufacturers will only be of use for a short period of time. Although headphone models don't change as rapidly as other electronics, some of the models may no longer be in production when this video is viewed in the future.
