Headphones (cans?!)

Au contraire. In all honesty, working in theatre/concerts professionally for the last 7 or so years and semi-professionally for the last decade, here on this forum in another thread was the first place I've ever heard comm referred to as cans.
I have, however, consistently heard headphones referred to as cans (and done so myself) many times in the last decade.
It all depends on who you work with and where you work. Terminology--especially slang--is different everywhere you go.

Oh well, that was the reasoning i got for it. People just probably call headphones "cans" because it is easier and faster to say that instead of headphones or earphones.
 
Resurrecting this dead post...

What kind of headphones are you people using these days. I'm looking for some in-ears in the $50 range and I'd like to see what the current favorite is.
