No I personally haven't.

Apple is leading the sales on in-ear headphones. Are they the leaders? Who defines leaders? I admit that there are users who deliberately buy the feeling when purchasing specific Apple products. Mostly those who don't need to review the price-tag a few times. But they are surely not the majority.

And again: Its interesting to see how so many throw these two different buying personas in to the same pot and declare all Apple users mindless cattle.
