Prettiest headphones?

Thread Starter 

What are some of the prettiest headphones with good SQ? I'm trying to think of some awesome headphones for her birthday

 

So far, shes obsessed with her yellow and pink Sony Piiq Triqiis, but they don't have very good sound quality...

- These are the cans she has. She loves them

 

She doesn't like Skullcandy, and isn't caught up in the Beats hyper either :P

 

What she does like for style:

 

I showed her the AKG K518LE/K81DJ, and she really likes them. I also showed her the ATH-ES7s, and she said they were 'pretty'

What she doesn't like for style

She found Grados and Portapros to be ugly... :(

Not gaudy like the Sony's, but not super retro either.

I personally like the look of the HD598's.

They probably aren't really her style, but you never know.

How about Ultrasone's line of headphones?  Great looks and exceptional sound quality like these quys the HFi 580.  photo courtesy of Farelistic.

The name sound familiar. Did you post in the official headphone thread?

This may sacrifice sound for looks, because the K701 is known to be a love/hate headphone. You either really like the way they sound, or you really don't.
