* Great sound quality for the money.
* Small size to carry around.
* Discrete.

and when i'm feeling insane

I don't have any headphones that could really be worn in public without looking incredibly dorky... but I have brought my Beyer DT-660s to work before and I actually got some compliments like "nice headphones" (in a non-sarcastic tone).

B&O A8, they look dam cool and sound ok- in my opinion you dont need much more when constantly taking one ear off to talk to people.

hehe, that's brave IMO. I thought AT's would get my head stuck on narrow doorways.

I usually wear my cheap Sennehsier mx400 earbuds out since I'm so rough with my portables, but have a PortaPro on the way to take their place.

Beyer DT250. They keep my ears warm when it's cold outside in the winter.

hey tasty ur from melbourne too, yeah i walk around the city w/ my e4cs and i check out other people's headphones too but all i see are a bunch of ipod stock buds. they dont know what they're missing out on. so when i spot someone wearing an etys, i can be quite certain its u.

E2C's!!

I've used my MS1's at school a few times but the noise in the background is annoying and I obviously can't bring them into the library since they leak too much sound. I just leave them at home nowadays.

UM-2s cos that's all I have

I use the cheap earphones that came with my portable CD player since i listen outside very rarely, ie not enough to justify a buying decent pair of IEMs or similar, although i'd like some.

Yes! I do this all the time, and it's terrible. I start judging people by whether they're using the iPod earbuds or something decent. I saw a kid wearing Grados around yesterday and if I hadn't been in a hurry at the time I would have stopped to shake his hand and compliment him on his taste. Last week I saw a girl walking to class listening to some Panasonic circumaurals that she had on over the hood of her sweatshirt. I remember thinking to myself, "Interesting mod..."
