Other than the first 5 commercial, the only other good headphones i've seen people wear are the HD590's... and only because i told him to get them. Other than that, i'm the only one who walks around with good headphones. Everyone else from my highschool wore a lot of sony crud. i don't mean the stock headphones, i mean they went out and spent $20-30 on a good set of terrible sony headphones. Other than that, i think i saw one ksc-50. i tried a doubletake, but he was out of my view, and i never saw those phones again.
as for just out on the street, well, i didn't notice anything at all... mostly because no one really wears headphones here.
I asked my friend a while back about what he sees at his school, and he mentioned that he knew a few audio"junkies" (enthusiasts would describe them well, but they spent tons on sony junk). one had a v700, i believe, and another had $200+ studio phones from sony, of course. my friend auditioned them, and he was complaining over and over how he only heard bass. hehe.
But i guess one of the reasons is that headphones aren't very prolific in my area in general. As for spotting high end headphones in stores, the only ones i spotted were senns from a store i will dub "c.s.". they used to carry grados, but they don't anymore. the only other outlet i can find in my area that carried grados were about 15-20 miles away. I tried calling around some more, and i couldn't find anyone with Ety's, beyers, akg's, and not even any sony cdxxxx's. It's weird...
