Sophie (Dachshound) jumps on the sofa next to me when classical music is played....leaves when Pink Floyd comes on. 
Bluetooth Buds?
I've been using my Grado GR10E in ear phones...love them.  The are very clean, very fast.  No frequency  impinged on another. Rock solid lows...couldn't ask for better.  These things are different/better? than my multi thousand dollar main system....
