To date I havent seen anyone on the train who looks like a Head Fier. Some people have B**ts, some the crappy stock ear buds(they use Samsung ear buds with iDevices and vice-versa) and some use low end JVC and Sennheiser IEMs. Once I saw someone with an MDR 1R but they also had an Xperia Z, leading me to believe they were only using them because they got them free in the bundle deal.

Sometimes, I wear something cheap while on the go. Just keep things low profile 

 Most of the time, I don't even wear it xD 
 

True true, but some airlines have a Korean pop music channel.

That's always fun to listen to.

I hate those 2-pronged jacks too. Sometimes you can wiggle/pull out the headphone cable plug and you'll get 2-channel stereo sound when it's supposed to be one side only.

In all honesty, I only know PSY and G-Dragon ._. 
 
Yes, that 2 jacks is annoying. VERY
 
 
 
YKYAAW you are torn between getting new headphone or upgrade your current headphone's cable for the fun of it xD My parents might go crazy if I buy another headphone although it's from my savings T.T

YKYAAW you have multiple rigs for different situations:
 
 
1. Gym rig: Sweat proof sport IEMs with iPod
 
2. Lightweight rig: cIEMs and dap for underground / maximum noise blocking
 
3. Travel rig: Closed headphones and portable amp
 
4. Work rig: Better closed headphones and desktop amp
 
4.2. Home Quiet rig / Bedside: Identical to work for when you cannot disturb certain peoples...
 
5. Home Head-fi rig: Open headphones, full scale desktop amp + DAC and movie processors e.g. Smyth realiser

I seem to always catch myself researching gear online a lot more often than actually listening to the gear I have.
 
If there was a "freeze" on trading gear, I am not sure any of us would still be as interested. It is the chase that is the most fun

I've only got a portable rig and an at home rig...

^This.  I hate the idea of having more than one go to pair of headphones.  I have a pair for at home with my desktop amp and a pair of closed cans for the go with my little e7.  I've said it before, something just seems wrong about having a headphone for this one song and then Oh I want to listen to this genre, time to switch headphones.

^^^^ +1. The real fun of Head-Fi isn't just the listening, but the pursuit of new gear.

When you rather solder than kiss your GF. Solder doesn't scream when you hit it o.O hahaha

 

[VisceriousZERO]

YKYAAW you read this thread and scoff at the various YKYAA jokes but inside its all true.

 

[applaudio]

YKYAAW you get anxious in high-noise environments, because loud noises make you worry for your audio investment. "These idiot fans are going to ruin my hearing, and after I just bought HE-400's! All that money, down the drain!"

YKYAAW you get ticked when people claim there's no audible difference between 128 kbps mp3 and lossless.

YKYAAW you are scorned by coworkers for your "sensitive, super-hearing ears."

YKYAAW you pass a stranger wearing AKG's and feel like high-fiving them.

YKYAAW stock ear buds make you cry.

YKYAAW you've returned more headphones than most people have ever bought.

YKYAAW you go to a movie with a date, realize it sucks, and spend the rest of it imagining how you would upgrade the sound system in this place, counting the number of times the speakers audibly distort, and wondering if anyone else in the theater is bothered by the evident 'more bass, loud volumes' approach to sound quality.

YKYAAW your brother asks you for replacement earphones for Christmas, explicitly requesting "just earbuds, not the kind that goes inside your ears, nothing fancy" so you order him Yuin PK2's and chuckle in satisfaction. "I win," you say to yourself.

 

[streetdragon]

This is scout, earbuds make me cry~!

YKAAW as stated above you hate loud environments because it may harm your hearing and your ability to use your audio gears.

and also when your eyes have developed the ability to seek out and analyse headphones on someone's head in the middle of a big crowd. And most of the time you get disappointed because it's either beats or cheapos.

 

[BillsonChang007]

YKYAAW your brother asks you to recommend a headphone/earphone to one of his friends under $200 

 [sunglasses because I find this emoji cool xD]

I get anxious in loud environments because then I won't be able to listen to my IEMs.

I get a little pissed when I'm listening to my music and someone just blasts the volume with a speaker nearby me. One of the only way to piss me off >.<

 

[razor5cl]

In my classroom at school people always blast crappy music out of the really, really poor speakers in the room. Its really annoying cause the speakers are bad even by b**TS consumers standards.

 

[davidsh]

^Indeed.
Our speakers are most likely damaged due to high sound levels, but they just keep blasting it. Well, I hope they are broken
