About

Rick Rubin Wearing Headphones is a reaction image of record producer Rick Rubin, a man with a big white beard, wearing Audeze headphones with his eyes closed and his hand on a computer mouse, as if listening to music intently while producing. The image was popularized as an image macro format in January 2025, in which it is used alongside captions, both ironic and genuine, that paint Rubin as a master in the field of programming, producing, engineering or another similar profession.

Origin

On January 6th, 2016, the Chord Electronics Facebook[1] page posted an advertisement that shows record producer and Def Jame Recordings co-founder Rick Rubin using Audeze headphones with his eyes closed while seemingly producing music on a Mac, writing, "It was great to see Rick Rubin again in our suite at CES. Always a gentleman…," garnering around 53 likes in nine months. On September 9th, 2021, the Audeze Instagram[2] page reposted a crop of the image.
