Nothing worth mentioning in my campus nowadays, maybe except for the PX100's and Sony MDR's.

Ever since I'm in school, they're staring at me for my cans (HD 555 obviously lolz). I'm now using the quieter AKG K518 and I still get attention. I don't get why wearing traditional-looking cans bother them, while bling-bling Skullcandies become pretty normal to them. Queer.

In thel ast few days in college I've seen these: Sony MDR-V6, the odd AKG, A Ultrasone, A Few Sennheiser's I don't know the name too. and shockingly even I've seen three of these things Panasonic RP-HTX7-K1, and a boat of Skullcandies. I also think I've seen an Igrado which is odd since no one in this area sells them.

Someone came into my work a few days ago with what looked like Monster Beats Turbines... But I really am not good ad identifying buds.

Everyone at uni here has HD212/HD202s and Sony MDRV5 or something like that. Seen some Bose QC2s, AKG K171 or K271, can't remember now, oh and i saw the same guy with some AKG portables. Saw some Grados the other day and... yeah nothing else really notable. Oh theres this one guy who commented on my DT770s and I found out he's reads up head-fi and recently bought this. Really need to ask him how it turned out for him, looks curious :p

I have not seen any headphones that are decent here in idaho... Not even px100s, ksc-75s, or portapros. No IEMs, just ibuds and JVC gumys.

Walked passed a guy wearing the fullsize Beats. He had them pretty damn loud, but looked like he was enjoying them a lot.

I saw these headphones in house and initially thought Sennheiser hd25 because of the band, but then on closer inspection the Senns are plastic while these look like metal... possibly not toys, some medical equipment?

Anyone know?

Yeah, the top headband looks a bit like the HD25 but I think it's too cylindrical. Then there are the cups and pads that look a little like Grado headphones, but again they're different enough that they're probably not.

Inverse sighting: earlier this morning some dude said "Nice headphones!" as I passed him in Tim Hortons to get my morning coffee.

I was wearing my Grado SR80s around my neck.

I couldn't respond as I was barely awake enough to order said coffee at the time.
