For sure. The best you're going to get for style / sound is the ESW9. They're also only about $229 at Adorama.

I actually bought one of those off of the creator during the first Head-Fi convention in NYC. He signed them and everything.
 
Unfortunately, my ears hated them. Totally not a knock on the 'phones, the way the drivers were angled just didn't sound right for my ears. I know a lot of people like them.

I think the Ultrasone Pro line is pretty sexy as well. They look super clean.

+1. Except the blue plastic ones... pro 550 and 650 I think? All the black and metallic ones are very sleek.

Which ones had the orange pads? I loved those orange pads.

Hfi 2200, yeah... classy looking, but not my cup of tea to wear, "looks better on the shelf" type of attraction for me :D

Ahahahah. I forgot they were brown. It's like my parents house (from the late 70s) was melted down and made into a headphone.

For the record, I'd totally wear my W1000X in public if I wasn't afraid of it getting chipped on something.
 
They're kind of brown and orange too... huh.

Once I get my Denon D7000 they're never going out in public. Wood cups, nice recable, j Money leather pads? No way are they going outside.

My AKG 240 Studios are pretty good looking if you ask me. Some people may find them too nerdy.

Koss Pro DJ 100, AIAIAI TMA-1. Those are probably my top picks for fashionable headphones.

EDIT: And both sound great.


X2 on the DJ100's
