I was cramming all night forn an exam today... while I was commuting to university there was this chinese girl in the seat right in front of me wearing Audiotechnica ath-esw9a. Didn't talk to her yet... but it was quite a good omen. Exams turned out to be quite peachy.

I was riding on the transit bus today and I saw a guy wearing Shure SE-535, made my day honestly. First headphone sighting apart from a pair of Ultimate Ears 11 pro customs that haven't been 1. Cheap as hell or 2. Beats/Bose.

1st day of second semester classes for me, I plopped down to next to a very pretty hipster-esque chick. She had a pair of headphones around her neck, I had to awkwardly squint over my shoulder to catch the model name, TR55LX.
A quick google search left me disappointed. In another class I saw some kid wearing and showing off his HD205's rather proudly to another student. I found salvation in my last class, a pair of W2's, I'm pretty certain of it. Although I was sitting kind of far away. I'll have to check again tomorrow. 
 
Oh and the cool kids with their beats.

Actually, those are Philips Stretches. TR55LX is the name of the nylon the headband is made of (it's freakin sturdy!) They're lackadaisical stock, but they're a decent platform of modding.

Fatal error.

Saw some ATH-M50s in the student center today. Other than that, tons of Beats.

I saw a very pimply kid on the city bus on the way home from the U today, with Grado SR-80's. Must have been a highschooler. We have quiet buses
 
Also, as mentioned in the Beats thread: That morning, I saw a mid-30's guy wearing Solos with masking tape in two different places on the headband.

my friend got a srh 940

Saw some cheap Sennheisers, not sure of the model. No name earbuds. One pair of Beats.

I work at a Tim Horton's here in Canada (minimum wage high-school student). Tonight a guy came in wearing some reasonable looking cans, couldn't identify as he had the pads facing outward. As I got his drink I had to ask "What kind of headphones are those?", surely he was proud to say "Grado's" (they were from what I could tell SR60's). I was taken aback for a second, as the closest thing to decent headphones in my area is the multitude of Beats wearing kids who purely seek louder bass and say "swag" every second word.
We talked for a minute about headphones and amps, he told me he was in $800 to his equipment, suggested a few headphones but about 45 seconds into our conversation, my manager was on me to get back to helping the line already piling up. I said my piece and off he went, hopefully he comes in again, it's extremely rare to meet anyone who has a CLUE about audio equipment, let alone willing to invest anything above $20, aside from vibrators (Skullcrushers, Beats, etc. - I have my prejudice).

PX 100 (the original ones I think) on a young lady on Noriega on my way to get some char siu.

Haven't really seen anything worth getting excited over around here. Just the usual Beats and Skullcandies unfortunately.

Cool story, Grado's seem to be the most used out and about audiophile headphones, if this thread has any say.
