Saw someone who bore a slight resemblance to John Hodgman at the grocery store this evening wearing Panasonic RP-HTX7's.

I was about to agree with you on that point, but then I remembered these:

They look amazing, and they can't sound that bad

On topic, I saw a pair of of those Sony DJ style phones. Judging from the colourway (which isn't much to go on), I'd say they were the MDR-V500DJs.

How long have you been hanging around Toronto? You must have left out the countless Sony cans from your list. Those are all I ever see here.

I was riding in a tram in Zagreb the other day with my girlfriend and a nice looking girl walked up and sat near us. I was staring at her because she was wearing the Portapros (too few girls are interested in good reproduction of music) , but my girlfriend gave me the eye and looked her way. Then looked at me and asked what were i looking at. I said "she is wearing Portapros!". She laughed her ass off and said "I knew you were looking at the headphones, not the girl!"

Honestly, I was puzzled too. Looking at cans instead of girls...maybe i should quit this hobby...

lol i've done that when i was at a uni open day.... same a girl with portapros. Noticed a guy with some horrible sony MDR-V500 or w/e yesterday as well, and a girl wearing a pair of HD555 in public (not exactly the nice kinda phone for that but well...)

At work they started buying these horrible logitech headsets... i got my hd-25 II's....

At my workplace, they seem to hand folks silver JVC cans, although I don't really know what they are. A coworker wears some Sportapros, while another uses an Sennheiser HD-212 if I'm not mistaken.

On the way to work, I usually see this one guy who wears Sennheiser PX-100s, while others have been seen with some Sony headphones and stock iPod buds for the most part. The Panasonic retro phones are somewhat common as well.

I've seen one pair of Sony's since my previous post. Not sure of the model, they were some pair of over-sized ones. Otherwise, just countless NoName/crap knockoff ones, and stock iPod phones galore. Nothing I recognized, nor cared to ask about. I'm surprised no one here has spotted my gargantuan white Ultrasones...

It's only a 'good' deal if there at least 66% off.
