That's well put, and perhaps one reason I like them. Luckily I already have a bunch of vintage M-mount glass. I just need a FF digital rangefinder to mount them on that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. 
 
In the meantime, film will do for the purposes I use the M's for. 
 
I end up using film for some of my business shooting too, only because there are few systems to match what I can do with 4x5 and 8x10 large format negs at ANY budget, never mind one my clients can support. 
 
Nice portable rig, btw. I end up spending most of my audio money on my office set up, not portable since the Chicago trains are well nigh unstoppably noisy.

Anyway, I've seen a few M50s around my school (I think at least 2 different people), 1 pair of grados (sr80i I believe), as well as a pair of shure srh440 and a pair of ultrasones (didn't see the model).
I also saw these weird headphones that looked like they were wrapped by a thin strip of white leather, all around the cups and headband. I didn't see a brand on them and I didn't get a chance to ask the girl what they were. I'm almost certain they were headphones because they had a wire running out of 1 cup.

We got a very good deal during a trade-in program, comparing with (well not pro lvl stuff) but with Nikon D300 and stuff its amazing, but the battery dies somewhat fast, and I guess availability of lenses is something big too, maybe its a cool second camera even for pro's but it is very-very expensive, yet very-very small can't really drag around a D3X or something around all the time.

i thought leicas were rebadged panasonics o.O

Nop. They didn't look branded and the ones I saw had a weird cup shape and looked like one thin strip of leather (about 1cm wide) was wrapped around the entire thing.

The point and shoots yes, not their big cameras and rangefinders.

Most interesting since last post ATH M50, MDR XB300, MDR XB500 and something very much like HD 540.

 

[GL1TCH3D]

I saw tons more beats at my school and not a single pair for a notable mention.

 

[Extra]

Sony XB40/XB41 and a Sennheiser HD202 at school.

 

[iamthem]

I saw a person with shure 315's at school. I quickly befriended him .

So I've been too weirded out lately not to post my sightings.
 
I'm on a college campus, where the only headphones I EVER see are the stock iPod earbuds, Skullcandies, and Beats. Gag me.
 
However, just yesterday, I literally saw three seperate people walking around the XB500's. I was like 'woah, when did people start doing research around here?'

 

[GL1TCH3D]

Yesterday I saw a guy with the koss portapros =] i didn't have time to chat with him though.
One day I hope to see someone with the Edition 8s

 

[Torontoraccoon]

Are PortaPros really that good? I mean back in the day they where selling all around in Russia, was like the most popular "trendy" headphone, was worth around 25 dollars, now amazon shows em for like 40... could they have been fake?

 

[nanaholic]

The other day I saw someone wearing the red Shure 535s at the airport, I wonder if he noticed me wearing my Edition 8s. 

 

[Byakushiki]

Some bloke with IE8's on the green line today. At least, I think, since it had a Sennheiser jack and fit the shape of one.
That aside, the T's recent service cuts are ridiculous. There's less trains inbound on a weekday than weekends last year.
