Headphone Sightings 2

Within last two weeks: DT770PRO (first time I ever have seen these worn in the wild - beside me in the mirror), K-512, K-99, few Beats (one girl), one silver-blue Philips (don't know which model), few HD238.

My friend was at best buy, called me up and asked him what headphones to get, I went on the futureshop website out of habit, and saw the SRH750DJ's were on sale, he got it price matched for $90. I gave them a quick listen, liked them except for a few immediate flaws, though for $90 it's almost impossible to beat. Oh and saw some Beyerdynamics with a headband that had beyerdynamic printed in white, not sure what model that is.

Around here I've seen a couple m50s, a Grado of some sort, and a v moda m-80, as well as various sennheisers of various models.  Keep in mind this is over the past year or so.  Of course a large numbers of beats and skullcandies are here too.

Not really a sighting but a lot of Starcraft 2 pro players seem to have pretty nice headphones

Might've been Manufaktured. A really nice pair of those'll sell well, even used just because of the color scheme if you find the right crowd.

Don't get a lot of good sightings in Honolulu. I see the typical Beats and Skullcandies around campus, although the other day I saw a Sony MDR-V6 and a V-Moda (one of the crossfades, I think) in quick succession. Also saw a girl rocking some PortaPros on the bus.

In the last couple days or so I've had a glut of headphone sightings.
 
Some SRH-840s around the neck of a guy at a coffee shop, Crossfades (couldn't tell if they were LPs or LP2s) on a girl on the bus,  a couple pairs of RP-HTX7s (the retro-looking Pannys), a pair of Aviators, Senn HD202s and 428s, and what might have been some Audio-Technicas.  Didn't get a good look at them though.
 
Also more Beats than I could shake a stick at, but I don't really count those.

Saw a set of MS Pros yesterday. Being used as a casual walk around pair. Nearly shat myself.

I didn't spot any high-end cans today, but someone spotted mine during my communications class. He noticed my DT770s asking if they were the 600 ohm version, I said yeah, he said awesome, he owns a pair of DT880 Premium 600 ohms, we started to geek out over gear. (Turns out he's got a pair of K702s just like me, and also a pair of D5000s and HD650s, and a Little Dot MkV.)

Does that count? Seeing headphones in the headphone section of an electronics retailer?



I might count it, finally saw HD 25's at futureshop for the first time, they had some Shure cans as well, overpriced ugly Adidas edition but whatever, still one of the best pairs of headphones I've ever auditioned at a big box electronics retailer. I'm used to the line between beats and complete crap that can't compete.
