How many of your friends, family members, etc... have you converted from crappy headphones/earphones/speakers to quality headphones/earphones/speakers?

A bunch of my friends have bought Portapros at my urging (Koss is a local company, so it is the easiest). One friend bought AD700s, and another bought k240s on my recommendations, so a fair amount. My girlfriend always likes listening to my rig, so that kind of counts I think.

Just my dad.

Most people that have heard my rig say it sounds really good. They just can't justify spending that amount even when I tell them there are cheaper options that still sound great. I think I've shown them what's out there though and maybe one day when their current stuff breaks they will look into better equipment.
I've only truly converted one friend; he bought my pair of Shure SRH-840s.

My sister has my old CAL!s and Sony MDR V6. For my dad I am going to get a more than decent and powerful CD-player and give him one of my favourite headphones. That leaves me with one useless portable headphone to lose, hmmm...
 
I did persuade someone of the use of burn in, although that does not count for much. One convert for now...

3 and counting. Now that I have flashy ES10s, everyone is asking to audition my phones (unlike the less aesthetically pleasing HD555s I used to use for portable).

I've gotten all three to buy Senns in the past, which were good for the value. Nothing expensive though, yet.

Just a couple. I'm new to it myself. Just immediate family members.

All the roommates i've ever stayed with back in undergrad at least one ended up with a pair of Senns.

As you can see, I never left The Dark Side ....
 
Incidentally, I thought I had a few success stories. I thought I had my old roommate, my sister and her best friend all converted over to Koss KSC-75s and PortaPros. Unfortunately, the roommate is now back to Skullcandy, and the sister and her friend have switched to Sony active noise cancelling phones. I have failed

 

[Deep Funk]

My sister hates Skullcandy, oh joy...

EPIC haha!
I have converted over 6-7 people in the past 2 or so years
 
-Oh apple earbuds are the bomb! why would you ever spend more than £20 on earphones.
-here try these...*hands over IEM's*
-O.M.G! where can i get them?
-!

One, how sad, and he didn't make it too far.  Gotta admit though one of my daughters may end up converting, she loved my E3 hand me downs until they got stolen with her ipod.

Unfortunately, nobody............I hide my addiction to the best of my ability.

Zero, my friends either don't enjoy music or don't really care about listening quality.
