Too many teens are using them because of the style, rather than because of the music I think. So I stick to the discrete ones

Most big headphones can't be driven properly by a walkman anyways - they sound weak. I use the in-ear ones that came with my walkman.

i have a pear of huge ones too and know what ur talking about but... looks doesnt matter, it's far worse when youre in a crowded train and need to have a quite high volume to hear well becouse of all the people chattin and when the volume are too high everyone looks angry..
lol you should have see the "lady" infront of me when i played the end of District line II on max LOL!
she turned all around and really staired all over the place like she fought the train was having some sorta mallfunction or something.
but anyway, we shall now care about what others dont like >=)
honestly, if someone askes me to turn my music down nicely ill do it without a prob, but looking mad wont get them anywhere

Yeah, I stole a 14.99 pair of earphones, I was using the wrong foam jackets for a while so they always fell out, but I switched to a different shape and now it's got fucking tight sound.

I would play my Grado headphones really loud sometimes and since they are open-eared on the sides (compared to most other headphones which don't leak the sound on the outside), people would freak out on the streets.
But the chord got a loose connection so they are at home now.
I use Koss PORTA PRO'S (not the sporta pro) now which are excellent for it's price. It's the old-school portable headphones with the metal band over the head. Really wicked, and the sound is amazingly reproduced. Not as good as my Grados (duh!) but still... for 50 US bucks it's really good.
People just don't imagine the difference good headphones make.

I don't wear my huge Behringers in public for a couple reasons: I don't want to end up breaking them, and when I wear them I usually pull my hair back or put it in a ponytail, which I hate doing in public because it looks stupid. So I just wear shitty small headphones in public.

I hate earbuds with a passion, so those aren't an option. I don't take my sony MDRs out in public cause they're ridiculously large and I can't hear a damn thing in the outside world when I have them on.

ditto, small ones can make your ears hurt, and besides if they only knew what you were listening to they'd realize you're a much more intelligent dancer than they are

I wear my big ones when I want to treat myself to higher quality, specifically the bass. Usually I just wear my little ones because I can put them in my pocket when I'm in class or whatever.
and I fucking hate the flat line in my hair that I get if I wear my big headphones too soon after having a shower. It looks retarded.

i've only started wearing big ones in public recently and i get vicious looks from people in the street. it makes me very paranoid too, walking around listening to them at night in a city where unprovoked attacks are the norm, it means i'm almost asking for trouble :/

Wearing closed back headphones in public is lethal. You're practically asking to be run over... A friend of mine has a lot of scars on one leg from when he got hit by a car because he didn't hear it (due to closed back 'phones). I've worn open back overhead 'phones in public though and no, I don't care about looking stupid.

i have a nice big pair of koss pro3aa titaniums, and they are real big but have pretty good sound. i dont wear em in public too often tho because first of all i dont use my cd player in public much anyways, and my cd player doesnt power em enough, so i just use the trendy wrap-around ones that came with the cd player, which actually have relatively good sound quality for what they are

I've got a pair of Stanton headphones that was very reasonable in price and sounds great! They are really comfortable for about an hour but after that they start to put an uncomfortable pressure on my ears, but still I like them.

oh yeah, but I haven't used them in public yet, except for in my music tech class.. but 'm not embarassed about it or anything, I'd wear them in public all the time if I had a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter that didn't make it stick straight out for 4 inches from my tiny mp3 player.

In Ukraine, if wearin noticeable headphones, you agree with tha fact that they can be torn off your head by some gopnicks. So, you must be always ready to defend your property. But small earplugs really suck - they don't fit inside, and I have to press and hold them to get the sound. It is a good thing to put a sticker over a brand, I think. Like 'Gantz' on the left and 'Graf' on the right, or vice versa.
