Hey everyone,

I was thinking about picking up some new headphones this summer off my work salary. Don't get me wrong, the way a headphone looks is not the most important factor when buying by far, but I think it would be a good starting point. So, what do all of you think are the coolest/best looking headphones? I'm hoping that I'll get enough opinions to build a foundation of options, and then be able to select the best from it.


As for me, I think the Grado HP2’s look the nicest from pics (2nd place goes to MS-2i)

Audio-Technica ATH-ES7

Sony MDR-SA3000 Black Dragons, same great/evil look of the Qualias but no ridiculous blue/red earpads.

Sorry, dude, the SA5000 looks much better than the SA3000, at least in my opinion

haha i like the look of the sa3000 better eventhough im a sa5000 diehard fan. I havnt seen the sa3000 physically so my opinion is based on pictures only. But the gloss black does make it look nicer and more like the qualias.

i also favour the looks of grado, they have a real cool retro look to them.

I like the industrial stylings of the K81DJ.

I might take a beating for this, but the AKG K-1000. I love it.

The K-1000 is out of production, but I also think the AKG K-601 looks great as does the Grado SR-325i.

I don't like that the ES7's headband projects out sideways (I believe that this could be b/c it's a closed headphone). I much prefer the grado headband that contours smoothly atop your head.

Metal Grado's. Seriously sexy beings, they are.

 

[padi89]

Grados or the Senn HD595 is pretty cool looking on.

How come no one mentioned a AT woodie or a headphiled beyer??

 

[warrior05]

oh, i third the AT ES7s. i think they are the sleekest sexiest looking headphones by far. i'm talking the black ones, of course.
