I see a lot of Sony mdr cans on campus. Unfortunately I have yet to see anything high end.

Commuting to UBC, I saw a couple of AKGs the last week. One was definitely the K240 Studio. The guy used green electrical tape to secure the cable! I think the lady was sporting the K272's. This is actually my first two spottings ever in Vancouver and they both just happened to be AKGs, very nice!

The best sighting was a fellow classmate wearing Koss Porta-Pros. Not much though. The most predominant things I see around school campus are the stock earbuds that come with their mp3 players.
I do want to ask my teacher what his home stereo set up is though; he's quite a bit of a vinyl person.

Are you taking the 99? Maybe I'll put on my 701s one day... just kidding I won't. But I do use less conspicuous mid range headphones (shures). I've seen other people with shures too.

Yeah I take the 99, occasionally 84 to avoid traffic. I've actually seen a couple shures too, one guy had a white e3c with the very conspicuous yellow foamies. Well, it was only conspicuous when I saw him putting the buds on. I'm expecting the ath-esw10 in a couple weeks and would likely be listening to it if you see me.

at my highschool everyone wears iBuds, Skulldcandies and those coloured $10 sony buds. i see a few people with some cans, but nothing special. im almost certain that i saw someone with grado sr60/80's when i was in quesnel,BC. Fortunately my MS2i's will be arriving within the next 72 hours...i will change things at my school!

That's the first time I've seen anything decent in public that wasn't on my head!

Me too! I saw some sr60's though.

At UWA Perth, I've seen a couple of portapros, px100s and an asian guy rocking to a pair of AKG414Ps

Noteworthy ones are probably a dude using AKG240studios in the library which were massive and another dude with a pair of A900s around his neck. I found it a bit weird because it was actually a really hot day for spring (30 degrees) :\ but nonetheless, those headphones looked really cool
