Headphone Sightings 2 - Page 528

I was watching some Tom Green videos and came across this. I didn't know Fabio was an audiophile! 

 

Notice the STAX headphones and the, what I'd guess is, a million dollar stereo system!

Those speakers....Damn. Love it when he points out the $10000 cables. Very likely some of us on head-fi might be celebrities in hiding

that is illegal as all get out man.

i already saw two beats solo's and one studio 5 mins after getting into the school

The guy sitting across from me at the non-Silent Library is jamming to a Grado SR80i.

Some dude at my school with long hair had M50's 

I saw about 4-5 pairs of Beats today. It is quite saddening.

Saw a pair of XB500s in a lecture today. Quite popular headphones, seen the XB500 n a lot of people, with a few XB700s every now and then.

I saw a pair of the SOUL garbage. You know the crap that they advertise as "better than beats"

Here in S. Korea, there are plenty of Monsters.

Since our country is extremely materialistic we crave design over function .
All audition programs feature people wearing Monster products such as the Beats tour, teardrop, studios...
In everyday life, many are seen wearing the beats tour, studios, or solos. To point out a few non-Monster products, I saw a person wearing the Sennhiser IE8, another wearing the Bose IE2, seem the Bang & Olufsen ones (forgot model, they do a lot of marketing here), and UE 700. Most everyone else uses the stock earbuds provided by their smartphones or ipods. At school, I thankfully converted some friends to better earphones: ajays two, ajays four, UE TF10, Etymotic HF3 (I recommended the HF5), and everyone else bought cheap Sonys TTTT.

Basically in Korea:

A year ago everything I saw in Seoul were AKG and Sony. Beats tend to rot everything :(

ding ding ding ding. and here, ladies and gents, we have the worst headphones. if beats are a ****ty plastic status symbol alike nike air, then trying to co-opt their market with a cut price version is the peak of ****

The newest issue of the school magazine came out yesterday, and there was an article on some music students were making outside of school. One guy from an electronic duo was pictured wearing either the Sony XB300 or XB500 around his neck.

 

Appropriately, he was also wearing a t-shirt that appears to read as "BASSHEAD".

 

I also forgot to mention that my school has a few people with the Bose AE2 and IE2. On a rarer note, I remember seeing one guy in the school library with the Sony ZX700 a couple weeks ago.        

im out of town in grand forks, nd and already today ive seen two pairs of m-80's (im thinking from the radio shack) and 1 pair of q701 (used as portable??)
