It's one thing to use a luxurious pair of stereo headphones to enjoy good music at great volume, the audible thrill of an action packed movie or the big kabooms of an explosive videogame all in the privacy of one's tech-wrapped skull; it's quite another to do all that while nipping off to the fridge for a beverage or three without missing a beat; the bathroom too, while you're at it.
