I don't really see why that is. To me it seems that those four companies are the most mainstream/well-known companies because they make a LOT of headphones, that are mostly pretty decent. While some are brilliant, others are just not that great i.e. the lower end shures for example.
The thing is, I don't see why going with one of these companies and a decent headphone would be preferable to going with a less well-known one and a great headphone. As for the Mylars, I can see people getting excited over them at the beginning, but they really lost popularity once people realized how bad the build quality was. Imo all of the "flavors of the month" have been around long enough for people to realize if there was something going on similar to the Mylars.
As for the vibes, I wasn't really aware of them becoming popular at all, and frankly I can't see why they were
They have really nothing going for them besides tons of bass and they look nice.
