A couple years ago, I was sitting in a bar, listening to my RH1. A vacant-eyed yuppie (is there any other kind?) wobbled up to me and asked, "What are you listening to on your iPod?' "It's not an iPod," I replied. "It's a minidisc player." "You know what I mean!" she snarled. "Of course I do," I replied. "But you don't have the slightest idea of what I mean." This so confused her that she started to say something, stopped in mid-syllable, and wobbled back to the other end of the bar.

WOW

Anyway, I don't think anyone should wear ANY form of headphone/earphone/IEM in public (possibly barring long-haul flights) - if only because there are way too many safety issues involved with not being able to hear anything.

But full-sized headphones are sexy on girls, yes, because it suggests that they're probably into music.

If "in public" means wearing them while at work, then yes, I do wear full sized headphones in public. And yes, they do look wierd. When having the JVC DX1000's on, one person said I looked like Star Wars' Princess Leia.

Do I really care what they think? Not in the least.

 

[DemonicLemming]

I wear full-sized cans at work and on flights. I'm never in public other than that, but no, I wouldn't wear them in any other situation.

 

[genclaymore]

I wouldnt wear my HFI-780 out, i'd prolly trip over the extra cord. or trip other people.

Was just listening to my diyMod + PPAS + GS-1000 at a cafe last week, pretty nice. I take the RS-1 when I go food shopping.

I should wear my DX1000 in public someday.

I gotta start wearing my sr-80's more..haha

With yellow sen pads..

not only do i find it wierd that people would want to wear full sized cans out in public, but that'd they'd want to their listening in public. the only place i want to listen to quality audio is in the comfort of my room, which is i guess why i never got into/understood the portable audio craze.

unless some of you are flaunting your cans hoping that you might catch the attention of another head-fier or headphone enthusiast

. i always noticed this guy on my campus who skated around all cool like, rocking out to his grados (open cans in public

) and when i finally commended on his cans, i swear i saw his pants bulge.....

I don't wear full sized headphones when I need isolation, like during my mass transit commute, because non of them isolate enough. If I'm just walking around and don't need isolation, I use something like a PX100 or KSC75 that can be stashed if necessary. At work, I use nothing but full sized headphones, including MB Quart QP85s floats.

I wore my MS-1s out a few times walking to campus and didn't feel like loser. But these k701s.... I don't know

 

[turtlee]

some headphones, like the k701s, are extremely good-looking....what's the point of building a beautiful headphone if no one will see them?

 

[genclaymore]

Those float headphones make me laugh each time i see those.
They would go great with a greenis marine outfit and a pistol.

 

[bryguy27007]

I like the looks of big headphones in public, but I do think it makes you/me look like a weirdo.

I do wear my Grado SR-80s out in public, and I feel bad about noise leakage, but I don't have any closed phones.

A perfect middle ground between behemoths and little buds and IEMs are HD-25's. I bring them with me everywhere; sizable but not too huge, plus it's built like a tank and the sound's great even with the noise from the city.

If I had a pair of DX1000's, I sure wouldn't mind giving them a spin outdoors...had I the necessary amplification.

Present yourself however you feel comfortable. Being too obsessed with being "normal" can make life awfully dull.
