Some may even deem a question like this as blasphemy. There is absolutely no doubt that the Beatles were one of the most successful and popular bands to ever exist. But does the band actually live up to the hype? Are they far better than other similar bands that existed around the same time like The Kinks, The Animals, or The Rolling stones?  This question is sure to stir up a great discussion that could go on for several hours.

Audiences for in-ear monitors argue that their sound quality and noise isolation is much better when the listening device is directly in the ear canal. However, the other side of the argument is that earbuds are more comfortable and offer a more flavorful sound signature.
