Of course I look and I can't believe that 19 out of 20 times it's the dreaded white Apple earbuds when there are so many other better choices out there.

I sometimes think they look at me like.."dude, didn't your Ipod come with earphones?" OR "why go spend money on earphones when Ipods already come with them...what a waste of money."

Who doesn't?

I really like the looks of the SE530's and Westone's with customs

Another spotting of an ER6i user with no clue on how to insert them on the train. I really wanted to say something to him but they were obviously brand new so hopefully he will figure it out.

I've seen a couple people with custom UEs. Actually ended up talking to a guy in the airport bar for a while because I noticed his ue 10s.

That is SO true! But then again, I think whenever I see people with ibuds on I give them my "Why do you have such crappy headphones on?" look, that's why they give me dirty looks back.

I think Bose earphones are pretty good for listening while commuting. While I know they are not the best, they are very forgiving of mediocre source material, do not require an amp to be driven well, and the best thing about using them for commuting is that you are not completely isolated from your surroundings. i.e. SAFER. Just a few reasons why I choose the Bose in-Ears for commuting, rather than my er-4ps.

The Bose in-Ears are all over Chicago. But I have seen a few shure users on the train. It doesnt really bother me when people use ibuds because I just think of it as them not being interested YET. I still use cheap ass headphones while exercising too. Its not like Im actually concentrating on the music.

I would sooooo wear this shirt with my shiny Shure SE530's on and purposely walk into a Apple store. LOL.

Fact.
I do look at the earphones, but I haven't seen anything interesting in the last few months. It's really harsh here for a Head-fi'er

I usually carry 2 pairs with me as well if i'm going out to meet friends and we might be catching a bus or something. most people tend to understand a little better once they hear them, but some people are tone-deaf and still think you are crazy. thats if I ever told anyone the actual cost.

 

[Confispect]

Yep I do it to, nobody ever has any 'goodies' just bose, a occasional v-moda.

 

[Pagail118]

Sometimes I find people that wears Grado headphone in the subway or at school. It is hard to find in Canada at good price and it is not what I would call the most beautiful thing to wear in public ! ( well at least to lower-end ones )

I don't notice iem, to hard to find out what they are.

 

[Nosoupforyou]

!!! I saw an SCL5 today! Holy cow!

 

[rawrster]

today i probably saw the best headphones ive seen on campus today ever..a dt880 pro :]

 

[VoLTaG3]

Wow, today I went to the movies with my girlfriend to see X-Men Origins and I saw someone with Westone UM1 or UM2 couldn't really tell.

Cost More != Sound Better.

Edit:
Sorry, wrong impression
