Because you can make lowbrow jokes about having wood.

"Ive got a plasticky" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Allright listen up noob, I'm only going to say this once:
The dynamic quantum structure of the natural cellulitic planck strings results in a multi-dimensional auditory aura (adora) that greatly enhances the vibrational wave harmonics as it relates to the inner cilliatic transmitters producing holograhically calibrated packets that collapse uniformly.

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

It's about best reproducing the timbre of the instruments on the recording of the music you are playing.

If you are listening to instruments primarily constructed from wood, such as classical string quartets or guitars (both acoustic and electric), then you should use a headphone constructed from wood.

However, if your music is of instruments primarily constructed from plastic, such as synthesisers or drum machines, then you should use headphones with a plastic housing.

This is true, I read it on the internet.

If you are listening to vocal music, you should use headphones made of bacon.

It depends on whether you have a wooden head or a synthetic head.
When all is said and done, lots more gets said than done.
