Thanks, I thought I was the only one that thought those looked rather..."unattractive"
Reminds me a girl I met once - gorgeous, but with extremely oversized nipples. 

Was it a dealbreaker?

There is probably another sets of natural wood colour left may be another six I am not sure but

it will be somewhat expensive.  This is the picture that I got from Wiktor

i'm almost afraid to ask, given the obscene prices Wiktor asks for orphs & their amps, but i will anyway. how much does he want for these stands?

My custom matte ES10s. Those and the new white pearl M-80 by V-MODA. They are just stunning in person, and I am not usually a fan of white. Maybe I'll post some photos up soon although photos just don't do them justice.

well. not before a few test runs.

I'm going to say the AKG 240 or AKG 271. They are just beautiful. I especially like the 271.

Superlux does a good job at using their design too, but cheaper materials of course.

Yeah, AKG has the looks department nailed.

Here's my vote:

The first is of a custom, the rest are of my version #0692. The most beautiful wood, highest quality leather pads, as well as the best cable and plug I have seen. Couple this with top notch SQ and unique sound signature and you have an all-time classic.

Loving the minimalist (Pioneeer SE-L40 inspired) look of this newcomer:

Reminds me of a classier version of some old radio headsets I have. I like the look. Who makes it? 

I prefer metal (shiny or not) over wood.  When it comes to just the looks, there are a few I could only "look."

Ferrari T350

Eskuche 33x

The supposedly rare and incomplete Final Audio Muramasa VIII

California Headphones like this Silverado

And the rest were already mentioned.

Unfortunately I don't own any of these 'cause I'm still saving up for another "for the sound" headphone... unless I read good reviews of the Silverado here on Headfi, then I might consider that.

The Philips L1

And the X1

as well as the AKG K550

I would also pick the W3000s. The lacquer is stunning; the cups look like black mirrors in low light, but put them under a bright light and the beautifully rich wood grain is revealed. It's an exquisite work of art in my opinion.
