I had 'the phone conversation' with TP a few years ago: 1. They don't break. A friend of his has made him a couple, and they last for years. Contrast and compare with DJ headphones. 2. When he mixes he's listening for high frequencies -- high hats etc so the lack of low end is no problem. In fact if you listen to what he's hearing through him, it's not very musical but it cuts through the onstage sonic hash and gives you a good idea of where the beat is. 3. It's a kind of trademark now, but it grew out of practicality. 4. He has loads of stories about people thinking he's talking on the phone when he's supposed to be dj'ing.
