I imagine $900 headphones are snapped up by the same type of people who swear their $200 special order platinum RCA cables are deliver SOOOOO superior sound to the $25 ones you get from Radio Shack.
I imagine your $350 headphones are awesome sauce. I would disdain you just as hard if you lent them to someone known for destructive fits of rage and he destroyed them in a fit of rage.
If he was producing life-saving and groundbreaking scientific work worth billions for me, I'd keep a stack of iPads just for him, with none of my stuff on it. I'd even carry one of those spares with me.
Though you'd think Stark would be producing SHEILD's cutting edge tech, rather than their chief of operations using tech you can buy in any decent sized supermarket.
Maria Hill can't use a Starkphone. The calendar app keeps deleting her evening events and replacing them with "Covert mission, priority level alpha. LOCATION: Tony's Jacuzzi. Bring L.M.D. if available."
Besides, Stark Industries gets shut down/acquired/bankrupted/infiltrated by supervillains a lot more often than Apple, Microsoft or Google do. I bet its technical support gets rock-bottom reviews.
and Doug's constantly trying to pry Kitty away from the X-men with the promise of a six figure salary, an escape from the terrible soap opera atmosphere and a chance to create some truly world-benefiting technology?
I find it rather annoying that SUNSPOT (Whose powers are replicated (but more powerfully) within even his own team) was recruited to be in an Avengers team which includes Tony, when Cypher wasn't, because if Tony can't see the value that an omniliguist could bring to a team, he's not the futurist he claims to be.
If they're S.H.I.E.L.D. tech, they probably cancel everything that might interfere with your listening experience. Noise, hangovers, incoming bullets, poison gas, inclement weather...
