Cute and decent phones under $100 (NOT for me, really)

Thread Starter 

I am in need of suggestions for phones that are "cute" (pink, green, etc.) and have good SQ. These are for a co-worker and she insists that they have to be cute first, sound good second. Also, they need to seal the sound. There's no way to persuade her otherwise. She said she loves these (how they look):

Anyone got suggestions?

Get a plain looking headphone and put stickers on it? DT770 w/ Hello Kitty stickers would probably look sort of cute...

 

Isn't there some picture of a K-On! character with K701s? that's sort of cute... there is a lime green Q701

As stated, under $100 and close-back only, please.

Awesome sherbet-color 'phones. Any babe wearing those 'phones is A#1 with me.

If looks is very important for her: Skullcandies.

But seriously, asthetics is just as subjective as sound, if not more. I would go for a porta-pro and then find ways to customise them to look as cute as possible... if not, get a Senn PX200

Yes, looks is very important and they first need to pass the "cuteness" test regardless of SQ. DIY modification is not an option.

Also, they need to be circumaural to minimize leak. I've been searching and there isn't many out there. Now those Aerial7s don't look too bad just about now...

Skullcandies are not girly enough...

These are the ones that need the Hello Kitty stickers applied to the earcups.
