I have all the information I need. Heading to the cops.
I see people do this all the time. Why do headphones, which are generally more expensive than ear buds, make people look poor? Why should you care what people think anyway?
I've split this off into a new thread since that's better than necroing one from 2013
That's unfortunate and ridiculous. First off, it's not weird at all. Second, headphones vs earbuds indicate nothing about wealth, and if they did, odds are if you're going through the hassle of carrying around headphones it's because you care about audio are got something good instead of whatever $10 garbage came with your phone, so I'd say their assumption is backwards. But, none of that matters anyway because who cares if you are poor or not. That's a stupid thing to make fun of your for and they're clearly immature.
Edit: Just, don't wear them like this, or that would be a reason to make fun of you Unless they're M50x's, then that might be a good way to control the treble...
I don't think it is, you just need to be able to hear the environment around you.
