None for me too. I only have one friend who used to be into audio a long time ago, and can appreciate it. But compared to the prices of speaker set ups that he has dreamt about, this is peanuts. Otherwise everyone else just ignores it.

Pfft. My father is the only one I know with any audiophile leanings whatsoever and even those are limited. Everyone else I know is perfectly satisfied by iPod earbuds and whatever they can pick up at the local electronics store for $10 or less.

None, that's why I spend too much time here.

A few. One uses AD700 with his Essence STX. Another uses CK7 and RE2. Another uses ADDIEM. Another uses AD700, MS1. And...yet another uses ES7 and ON3.
That said, I'm the only one who frequents HF.

My friends don't get it at all. I have convinced my best friend to get a pair of grad0 Sr80i's. He thinks the price was crazy but he does love them. ( I am not a big fan of them, but he listens to crappy 80's rock and they do pair well with it)
 
Luckily my wife has turned into quite the audio junkie. She has really come a long way in the last couple of years. She is now getting into DIY , which is just AWESOME for me, as I have no mechanical abilities what so ever. She goes through the for sale forums here all the time. She has just as many wants as I do? I love it!

really no one appreciates my enthusiasm to this hobby,i regretted telling my friend about the price of my ie8.he told all my other friends who never stopped making fun of me for 2 days:) .they all wanted to hear it but as a punshment,i swore i will never let them try it.they get pirated music and listen from the speakers of their mobile and never even get $2 earphone,why should i bother?
the only one that appreciates quality listening is my dad and he has sansa fuze and i bought him fx500 which he has been using it for nearly 7 months.

All my friend think I am crazy. They wouldn't even buy an earphone above 30 bucks. They think I am wasting my money, because they can't hear the difference between the apple earbuds and my the Klipsch X10s.

Perhaps I should get one for my dad too...he is a musician. I grew up listening to him playing music, and somehow, subconsciously, I always look for music.

Almost no one.
 
Questions about my RE0 usually go like this:
 
-What brand are they?
-Head-Direct
-Where did you buy them?
-On the internet and had them delivered all the way from China, payed them 60 €
-WHAAAAAT? 60 €? Are you crazy? For some unknown chinese brand? Get some Bose or Beats!!!
 
I usually change subject then

I managed to get one of my friends to buy M6 though.
