I saw a guy wearing K601's on the Caltrain the other day combined with what seemed to be a Practical Devices XM4. I waved at him and pointed to my Grados and smiled and he gave me a thumbs up

It's not always easy to catch headphones on the street with your cell phone camera - at least - I'm not of the generation that pops out cell phones to take pictures of people without their consent...

Agreed. Heck, sometimes just taking out your camera-phone isn't an instinctive thing to do.
 
Like last weekend at the Las Vegas strip when two BMW test mules drove in front of my face. I spent soo much time staring and wondering if they are the upcoming M5 and M6 convertible. By the time I remembered to try and take pictures, they were already at the next block. You'd think a car geek like me would automatically start snapping pics in a split second.....

I saw a woman at my university library today on one of the computers. She was wearing a pair of ultrasones. Not sure, but I think they were 680s. I had to use the 'awkward glance, then look away quickly' technique so she wouldn't think I was crazy.

While I was attending a festival (Near Hilton Head, one of the cities close by) I saw a guy selling Skullcandy products (Even hats?) while wearing Audio Technica ES7's around his head. I paused, looked, and then walked away.
