So maybe headphones don't cause hair loss, but what about gray hair? I've noticed an increasing amount since I've been here. It can't be a coincidence, can it?

Tell me about it! I'm only in my 20's and greys shot through the second I saw those lime green Q701s.
 
You don't even want to know where I found greys when I saw Lady Gaga Heart Beats.

You're right, I don't.

I cover my hair 24 hours a day and have shown no sign of hair loss.

Soooo, probably not the headphones, but it'd be better to talk to a professional if you want to be sure. Professional what, I don't know...

I turned gray from having a 4 week premature baby when I was 33. The gray goes away when I drink Grey Goose in large quantities,

me too, I use 7-8 hours/day and no signs of hair loss.
 
but I remember 2 years ago with my first university exams I start to loose hair, my doctor said that was stress and he was right.
 
so, chill out, sometimes is stress =)

Man alive, ask a health-related question, you are bound to get as many opinions...it's almost as bad as asking for a hi-fi/head-fi recommendation

 
Stress can cause hair loss.  Poor diet can cause hair loss.  Over-abundance of testosterone, or the more active dihydrotestosterone, can cause hair loss.  Your headphones are not causing your hair loss, provided they are not scrubbing against your head so hard hairs are pulled out.  Minoxidil (ie, Rogaine) works by stimulating blood flow to your scalp.  Increased blood flow seems to help hair follicles continue growing hair.  Wearing headphones will, if anything, make your head slightly warmer.  Thus, no evidence to suggest headphones cause hair loss.
 
Maybe there is a market opportunity here...Buy the Beyeheiser Statnamic-phone T1000 and hear the inner details in your music!  Blacker blacks, air around the notes, 5X more PRaT!  Regrows hair!  Makes julienne fries!  
 
Bald is beautiful.

Tired of Floats ruining your 'do?
 
AKGs causing strange patches of baldness across your scalp?
 
Grados causing your ears to fall off?
 
Try the new Sennheiser Surrounders! Guaranteed to not cause (visible) damage to your shoulders or back!

Can I get one that makes seasoned waffle fries. Those are my favorite.
Interesting that the same potato can taste differently just because it's cut into a different shape, no?

I prefer the Sony Nipple Speakers, personally. They clamp on and vibrate the sound through the nipple... I had the chance to audition some perky tunes!

That's just what they want you to think. They are secretly grown by big government in an underground lab, specifically engineered to grow as waffles.
 
Edit: I think the perky tunes comment was the best one-liner in this thread so far.

I wear my K702's about 18 hours a day and I've noticed that my hair is REALLY starting to thin where the headbands are.  Should I cut the bumps off?
They're VERY loose on my head and they slide around a bunch.  I know we've established in this thread that NORMAL headphones don't cause hair loss, but come on!

Wear a hat!

Or even better, a shower cap!
