#1. Audio-Technica W2002

Everything else is a distant second, third, fourth, ...

Next time put up a warning or something hahaha. The guy's expression is priceless.


Myself, I really like the AKG cans:

Also ATH buds are awesomme, in the minimalistic, yet mathematical precision way..

1. Audio-Technica ATH-W2002 - illustrating Japan's ancient Echizen lacquer/woodworking tradition; the most handsome headphone ever made, IMO
2. Sennheiser HE 90 - the subtle wood accents and elegant lines are unmatched
3. Sony Qualia 010 - a very hi-tech modern look that reflect the 'phone's sonic characteristics
4. Grado RS-1 - metal, leather and wood; these classic components are synthesized into a timeless retro style
5. Beyerdynamic DT880 - the metal construction looks very industrial and robust

1. MDR-E484
1[size=xx-small]A[/size]. ATH-W11JPN
3. MDR-D11A "Pinky"
2. MDR-D66SL "Blue version"
0. MDR-CD3000 "Socky"

I think those suffice

I've always found wooden headphones tacky in person *ducks*.

I'd have to agree on the Omega 2. The Qualia and Leatherhead are pretty nice too.

From your sig, man... those must be the sinister liners, right?

I never had the money, I stuck with my stock genesys liners, more than good enough for me...



Anywho, my favorites are:

AKG 271/171
Grado 325/RS-1
That A-T W series. Damn.

in no particular order I think it would be this:

 

[GoRedwings19]

I knew you would post those phones up Alex. Sly beetch....so how would you like the R-10's shipped?

you know I am after the W11JPN's...So would you like Fedex or UPS for your new r-10's

how about using the pony express.

I was tempted to put my MDR-R10 in the top three, but it didn't make the cut.

I have not seen nearly as many headphones as many in this thread but I really like these:
* SA5000 -- very high-tech, not really like any others
* MS-2i (fatboys) -- I really like these, much better than RS-1s and even the PS-1s
* custom Ultimate Ears (ability to add your own colors, swirls of colors, transparent vs. opaque

)

 

[morphie]

HP-2 and the Qualia are my personal favs. MS-2i come in very close too. This is all of course, ONLY design-wise.

There are quite a few cans that look groovy, but in terms of 'regular' headphones that look good I agree the black grados are where its at.

 

[fappar]

I really dig the retro grado look.
Also, my ksc75s are nice and small; I prefer not drawing attention to myself in public.
For home use, I dig the big sennies

1.) W100 - the W2002, W1000...etc's finishes just look a bit "fake" and plastic to me.

2.) Grado HP1000

3.) Qualia 010
