Saw a guy walking at McGill with ATH-M50s... I've seen a guy walking around with Grados too. Maybe they're the same guy that I saw on two different occasions.

Whoa there, no need to get mean about it guys. I didn't self-proclaim (because I really wouldn't); I was tested at age 8. The whole point of bringing it up was that in this thread it was compared favorably to financial success, yet I don't think it afforded me more opportunities than others, and it's certainly not doing me any good to talk about it. But you know what, I'm used to that.

Out of curiousity, what is your IQ score?

Huh. I never would've thought.... 
 
Getting the M50s and an E10 when I go home this winter. But I still have my last final tomorrow...

Well, I got an e-mail from Spiral Knights (one of my favorite games to play) and one of the topics was about their original soundtrack, linked to Amazon. So I take a look at it and I see the album art.
 

 
Is that an Ultrasone Edition 8?

I'm glad I'm on winter break thanks to the joke named CEGEP XD

Sitting in the terminal right now, and seeing at least five pairs of Bose at my gate. Disappoint.
 
But I guess airplane noise is a legitimate application of noise cancelling. A thought of mine that made me chuckle: someone should do a serious audiophile-type review of skymall products.

I'm jealous bro. McGill is not fun. 
 
So, when's the Montreal-Fi 2012 meetup happening?

I don't know, I went to one this summer and it wasn't that much of a success...

I got to try out a pair of Beats Solo's yesterday from a friend who received them as an early Christmas gift and I felt some very weird pressure when they got a seal. Anyone has have this happen?
 
Other than that, apparently Beats was at the top of everyones Christmas list at my school, especially studios. I'm not even going to go into how annoying it is from the sound leakage on them.
 
The only good sighting I had was a Senn HD-25-ii at the mall. He noticed my V-moda M-80's and gave each other a nod as we walked past each other.

I was called out on the R train this evening in Brooklyn NY by a fellow member.  He immediately noticed my ultrasones Ed 8 and I showed him my excessive portable rig.  Touch>solo>HR portable desktop>AOL-ED 8  I did not catch your full user name. I think it was Gradoman.   Send me a PM if you read this.  Its nice to talk to someone who gets it

I don't see many headphones in public here in finland, not even beats, it's mostly earbuds or iem's. But i saw a Sennheiser HD-25-1 II couple months back in subway station in Helsinki. I've also seen some joggers with portapros.

If my friend heard that you were wearing anything above $20 in public he would start talking about how you're probably going to get mugged. We had a 3 hour conversation on this and he still believes that he is right.. It's like talking to a brick wall. =/

 

[imackler]

Which is odd, because if you're listening to anything, odds are you that you got a device worth getting mugged for anyways!

My brother gets the same exact feeling whenever he tries them on at Best Buy. Maybe they seal so well that they're sucking your brains out. Or maybe it's just your instincts telling you to avoid them.

I just hope the Sennheiser HD 25 series doesn't give that same feeling of pressure.

It's such an amazing thing when two Head-Fiers find each other in real life. Ah..I'm just glad that there aren't any stalkers lurking on here, looking for someone to mug. Best to be cautious though.

 
 
 
As for spotting. I spotted a few of those white $20 Sony cans and a Beatz Solo HD with its headband broken off completely from both sides. And at my local Barnes & Noble, I discovered that they have a ton of lower-end Koss headphones set up for sampling the music they sell there. I wonder if they are sponsored or something.

Saw a pair of Bose Triports and a pair of Beats By Dr. Dre Pro's.
