I like to spike mine, but now I can't figure out how to do it and have headphones. I suppose I would have to just spike the front, but I'm afraid that might look dumb.
Ideas?

With the exception of extending the cups so that the headband never touches/squashes the hair (applicable only for those with abnormally small head), you can keep very short/spiky hairstyle and use the phones. As long as you do not remove them at all (and consequently reveal the 'squashed hair' area), you will look fine.
And what happened to the resolve to buy the metal Grados/Alessandros?

wear the cans like a DJ would : headband at the the back of your neck,cups up, instead of over the top of your head.Not as stable unless there is headband pressure but works if you don't bounce around too much (otherwise it is earbuds bud )

Now a days, you could pretty much take care of my hair with a washcloth. That said, quite a few personal appearance options are nothing but luxuries; be sure you are happy just paying for what you have got. As for headphones, my experience is that they style your noggin any way they want. You have to choose.

LA Looks extreme hold 10 will hold up to abuse from headphones. Granted, after taking them off and putting them on 3 times, it'll start to flake, but a bit of water and it's good as new.
