In headphones? Mid-market is truly emerging. Beats has introduced people into spending more than 50 dollars on a headphone and companies such as Audeze, Sennheiser, Beyer-Dynamic and others are really expanding. The high end is also expanding but headphones are becoming a geekdom.

Just as an example. I guess senn and Beyer are considered big names at this point but in the scheme of things, Senn has 2000 employees and Beyer has around 300.

They have a series of headphone enthusiast conferences called CanJam. I put mid-market as under 500 but others would put it under 1000, where the most interesting headphones are emerging.
