Headphone Sightings 2
Oct 22, 2011 at 11:44 PM Post #5,266 of 12,415
At my school, I usually see Beats, Sony, and a whole lotta IEMs.  I think the music department (of course, right?) is where you will see the real deal.  I see a lot of people wearing mostly Beats and Sennheiser HD280 Pros (me being one of them).  However, I do see a few AKG K44s, Sennheiser HD380 Pros, HD595s, and Audio Technica M50s.  Other than that you rarely see anything else.

I haven't spotted anything noteworthy around my campus lately. Someone had what looked like some V-MODA Crossfade LPs, which was kind of a surprise. Now that it's getting colder, people are putting up their hoods. It's making it harder to spot people wearing good headphones.
 
I was walking around with my Ultrasones and some guy was checking them out (I think). I'm not sure if he recognized them or if they, in all of their big and shiny glory, caught his eye. Or, for all I know, I had an embarrassing mark on the side of my face. If he was eying the phones, I wish he would have flagged me down. I love letting people try them out; they sound very nice! Nobody that I've met seems to have a lot of interest in headphones so I look like a weirdo for spending $350 on a pair of headphones when I could have gotten Beats.

Haha probably caught his eye because of the metal coverings.
I got quite a few curious looks riding the train yesterday with a huge grin on my face listening to my new Ultrasones.

Saw some Aviators in the wild for the first time. They look nice actually, just maybe not so good for keeping around one's neck. Also the usual glances/stares at the HDJ500.
Otherwise, a small mob of V7506's. That art institute sure has taste in headphones.

Saw a kid at my school today with his HD555s or HD595s hanging around his neck, listening to music with one ear while playing the music out of his iPod as loud as possible. :rolleyes: I guess its nice to see good headphones, even if I don't agree with how they're used.

Sprinting to school bright and early in the morning, laptop in hand...First thing I see: some random fella waiting to cross the road with HD280's on. Otherwise, you still have your standard mob of iBuds, Beats, and V7506's. Frankly, the number of V7506's are outnumbering Beats around my area. I also caught a glimpse of what looked like K271's.
