Nice try Duke! Regardless of gear and bigger and all the macho talk in these tag-ons there is one thing not one man has said about 'watching women or listening to music with women'...in my 70-something years I have never ever even seen a woman actually 'listen' to music. Never! Listening is more than 'catching the lyrics'. And I am very friendly with many women. But you can watch them glaze over when you put some Captain Beefheart on the turntable. I think that is why they tend to more opera with all the visual stimulation and a story of pain and heartbreak. Women seemed to be more attracted to music videos too. Ask a woman to close her eyes and have a conversation and see what happens. Or of course, they jump up and need to dance. But sit and listen the way my male friends or my adult sons listen; not.
I think it is far less about expressing emotions and far more about getting your own bad self out of the way and to shut up long enough to 'listen' to music. $6 ear buds or $60,000 speakers make no difference if you are not a listener and only a 'hear-er'.
