It's not just audio. Marketing in the US has gone mad. It's almost impossible to have a cup of coffee that isn't "gourmet", and my local supermarket sells bread that is apparently "artisan". And if you ever come to silicon valley you'll discover that every other worker is either a VP or a director (not me .. I actually do stuff).
We've gone marketing / hyperbole nuts in our society.
