Saw a pair of HD448's today. I was going to talk to him, but the kid looked slightly insane.

No seriously! Like he had messy hair, sideways glasses, and was talking (not singing) to himself...and he had a saber (fencing meets are a trove of headphone sightings actually. A lot of kids have some money, but most of the sightings are Beats and such.), so I figured it was best to leave him alone.

I saw a dude wearing Sony MDR-EX700s last night on a train.  Another was wearing EX85s.  One dude was wearing some Bose over ear headphones, and a bunch of others were wearing their stock ibuds.

Saw some today which were full-size white headphones with a red "9" (or was it "6") on the ear cups and an "AI" or "AT" on the headband. They looked kinda like something a gamer would wear. Anyone know what I'm talking about? A google search turned up nothing.
 
EDIT: Upon further review, I located the headphones. They are a signature series skullcandy G.I. headphone for Andre Iguodala, who plays on the Philly 76ers. how disappointing.

Today our IT guy came to the office with a pair of sennheiser HD 201 that put a big smile on my face today...
 
I drive them with my e7 and was impressed because they needed more power than my DT990s... not the best sound but very good for $20 usd and very much on the sennheiser sound...

I saw an older gentleman (maybe 60+ years old) in Costco yesterday sporting a pair of Westone 1s. I'm not familiar with the 1 so I was confused at first: It was clearly Westone but it didn't have the red "3" logo that I'm used to. I had to google it later to see that the 1 has a green "1" logo.
 
I don't know how well I could shop with that much isolation and music playing. But he had a full cart so apparently it wasn't a problem.

it only had a coed coming out of one side and i am pretty sure they were oval shaped ear cups.

 
i need to see this.  NEED.

To contribute, I think the thing here is to sport the Apple stock buds.  On the train, I notice about half the wearers with these, some with IEMs of assorted origin (I'm not great at identifying these yet), and very few with full cans.  I am certain I have not seen any nice cans yet: no AT, no AKG, some Best Buy-grade Sony etc., some WESC, some Beats.  And this is three years of train commute to DTSF and all parts of the city.

I got blindsided last week. I was wearing my SRH440 in the undergraduate library (UGL, yo!) and waiting for my friend to show up when I saw a guy wearing an intriguing pair of headphones. From a great distance the black, ovoid cups with chrome detailing made my heart leap. An SRH840? Here? No way! As he started walking closer, I tried my best to inconspicuously look at his 'phones. When he was about twenty feet away I figured it out.
 
Bose. Darn it. Probably an AE2.

I saw my first Justin Bieber Beats today. Some guy in my college Digital Audio & Sound Design class had them. It confused me greatly as to why someone of that age would choose those over the standard Beats.

For the past week I've seen:

1 M50
few portapro
about 10s of HD201

Is there something I'm missing? Are senn becoming more mainstream now?

no...because everybody wants full sized phones because they've suddenly become stylish due to the monster phones/skullcandies and 201's go for about $12-15 so they're very cheap
