The best pairs of full size headphones I've ever seen at my school are some 30 - 50 dollar Phillips or Sony cans. 95% only use the little white earbuds that come with their ipods.

I saw some headphones today that I recognised but couldn't think of the name at the time.

Whilst looking up headphones for some peeps (a lot of people turn to me for advice), I saw them, they were AKG K240S's hehe. Couldn't tell if he used an amp with it though. Also saw some more Skullcandies...*shudder*

It's a f'n plague over here, both boys and girls.

The hater up there likes to shudder at the sight of Skullcandy. At my university, Skullcandy is high end. Consider that. So far all I've seen is a sea of ipod stock buds or other generic open earbuds. Another common headphone is the Sony over-the-clip headphones.

Also, I've seen several of the Bose in-ears with the black and white cable. Plus I saw a pair of Tri ports around someone's neck.

About the only high end sighting I saw was last year. A girl in my stats class was wearing Shures, E3C I believe, with the cables over the ear.

Saw a guy in his mid 30s rocking a higher-end Grado on the D train a week ago - Couldn't tell which ones as I am a Grado newb.

Saw another dude in his 30s with black iGrados on the J train today.

What is up with the open phones on the loud-ass subway?

Saw a young professional listening to Bose IEs sitting across from me on the 5 train last week. I was listening to my Bose IEs as well (flame-guard! - I got em as a gift). Pretty bad isolation on these too @.@ but they're all I got as far as bud/ie-type phones.

My d1001s I bought partially for portable use but I haven't yet fully prepared myself for the stares I'll be receiving outdoors lol. Plus they're recabled with no sheathing after the Y-split so it'll look even stranger

I need me some iems with good isolation..

A co-worker constantly listens to his noise-cancelling supra-aural Sonys. Seen some other Sonys and some cheapo looking fullsize hp's and iems that I couldn't recognize here and there as of late as well.

My drama teacher offered me his v-moda vibes to use to master my compositions for the school play. I politely turned him down

On the bus today I saw somebody with some Technics (couldn't tell what model) and yesterday saw someone (couldn't tell if it was a guy or a gal lol) with some Senn HD-25 II's. If it was a gal = ++++ on the attractiveness scale
