you will look like a ****ing idiot, get some good in ear headphones. I have Beyer Dynamics dt770 pros for home use and some Ultimate Ears triple fi 10 pro for out and about. Not a bad combo, never miss the beyers when I'm out
Tbh I think people look stupid with them, only seems like people have started doing this in the last few months as well?
And tbh I would hate to have overhead headphones in public, well out and about. Love in-ear ones, just wrap them up and put them in my pocket, can't do that with big ones.

I really could not care less.
Cans are better than in-ear buds in my opinion.

But everyone thinks they are the £50 fakes!!!!!!
First world problems.
To be honest, if someone is that stupid to get beats then I would say it is well deserved justice.

Anything has to be better and look less stupid than idiots playing "music" through a mono phone speaker.

I think this tbh
.Personally I wouldn't wear them because I'd find them too awkward when not in use.

Paying over the odds for what are probably little more than re-badged Panasonics with some post processing to shift the balance to something with a bit more bass?
Haha I know what you mean; I was literally sat at the other end of the carriage and could hear music. I thought it was some ‘youth’ blasting music out of his phone/speakers. My stop came so I decide to walk the long way down the carriage and it was some 30 year out with some rubbish headphones. (The non in ear ones where everyone can hear everything). Very annoying especially if you’re trying to read or want a peaceful commute home from work.

Home cans.
Out n about IEMs
I bet no one posting in this thread has anything that performs nearly as well as these IEMs in either isolation or sound quality terms that actually wear them out n about, yet still think it's a good idea to wear big cans for sound quality reasons.

Who cares?! Youre the one whose gonna be enjoyin the good music. I feel big external headphones give tons better quality than weeny in-ear ones...well of course they do because you can chuck in a nice big driver in each phone. Having said that I have come across some very impressive in-ear ones. But gimme the externals any day. Bass booms more hee hee.
But yea..dont worry about how you will look, no one cares
Have you passed someone on the street lookin odd/wearing something odd...yup..you noted it for all of 5 secs and kept walking...

I wear my big earphones when i'm outside as they cancel out the external noise a lot better than my in ears meaning I can have the volume lower and not ruin my hearing.
