In my opinion all of the Audio Technica models with wood enclosures look great and receive top honors. Next in line are the Senn HD580/600/650 with my pick being the HD600 as most beautiful (love that dark marble finish--much more classy than the silver HD650s, IMO).

Let's see now, my top 3?

-AT L3000's... Conolly leather. Looks incredible. 'Nuff said.
-AT EW9 Sovereign... Hokkaido cherry hardwood in a clip on. It's just... wow. I never thought ANY company would go this far with a pair of clip ons.
-SA1000... cheap, and looks as good as any top-end Sony headphone(I like them more than the Qualia 010, IMO). I want mine for the sound, of course.

If I could add more to the list, I'd go with:
-Grado RS1's... classy, built like a super-luxury sedan or the interior of a Lear Jet.
-Sensa 2X-S... what could be better looking than a pair of awesome reference level headphones you don't see? Invisible headphones... I like that.
-Qualia 010... I feel this is Sony's best design, well, ever, except for the custom fit thing. I find R10's and CD3000's to be BULKY, and these are the antethesis of that sentiment. A wooden(Hokkaido Cherry, anyone?) version of the 010 would be the best headphone I could ever envision, but it would be damned hard to build.
(Cant think of any others at the moment...)

Thos're my two cents. Now give me a nickel

I must admit Larry's woodied he60's are the dog knackers. The he60's are cute because it is dinkier than the 650, but with the wood effect it gives it class. Have you seen how big the he90 looks next to the he60? Eric343 has a pic side by side. In my book dinky kicks ass.

I also admit I have a soft spot for wooden housed phones.
