Dougboy, it's a Sennheiser HD200 Master. It's meant to be used under heavy-duty/rough situations seeing that it has a replaceable Kevlar-reinforced cable.

I saw another pair of Sennheiser HD-415 on someone's head on campus. Besides the iPod type of look, do they sound good or something? I think its the 4th time I saw it since last month.

First of all, this thread is perverted, although I sure as hell did participate about 5 years ago.

Now I'm in the Audio program at Columbia and I often see classmates in the lab sport AKG 240s and Beyerdynamic DT770s. What's funny is that no one has any idea what my Sennheiser HD650s are, and I was even asked how come I stopped bringing my DT250-250s to class.

The 650s are a lot smaller than I expected, so they aren't exactly a crown for the headphone nerd elite. Plus thanks to Bose and Skullcandy they just look like "big goofy headphones" to anyone who doesn't give a damn (pffft, peons).

I really thought the second I'd walk into class I would get highfives from everybody and then they'd buy me pizza and tie my shoes.



perverted...what?!?

Saw a guy wearing SR225s at SD airport recently. I wanted to pull out my pair back when I had 225s and go sit next to him, lol
Also, a guy next to me on a flight to Detroit was wearing a pair of ATH-ANC7, just for isolation though, as they were not plugged in and he was reading.
One of my co-workers had a HD575, another one had a HD280
Saw some guy wearing a SE530 at the bus stop. He was doing what people do with ibuds sometimes - one earpiece in, another hanging down, talking to a friend. Stupid rich kids

*We should really start posting pictures instead of just saying what we saw (although taking pictures of random people on the street might be weird)

Last Friday coming north on the brown line from downtown I saw a guy wearing some clear IEMs with a cable that went over his ear. Sure enough, he said they were the SF3s. He wasn't a head-fier but he's aware of this site, just hasn't joined.

Therefore, I am not sorry for his wallet.

Hey yesterday I saw..... ESW9's in Tech Express being driven by an Alienware Laptop.

Clearly a Northwestern student, if you are a member here let me know - I was the one wearing the ES7's.

The guy was asian, so I do not know if he knows about them from being in japan or something (we have a LOT of international students).
