Headphones for a GF, I need help

Thread Starter 

Ok well Xmas is coming up and my Girlfriend Clearly hinted that she wants new headphones, the problem is she wants them to be colorful.

She was telling me that she loves the look of the JustBeats, those stupid Justin Beibs Headphones but I really dont want her getting Beats. 

Could someone help me to decent headphones that have a Pink or Purple color scheme for under $100 that are better then SkullCandy ($10). 

I found these, but I've never heard for the company. Anyone know it?

Something like the Marley headphones? They're ok, but you're going to struggle to find 'colorful and competent' 

under $100. These would be close at that price point. Other alternative is to source a headphone and dress it up!

I know Audio Technica has some really cute headphones but the model numbers elude me right now. The ONTO headphones are kind of cute. http://www.audiocubes.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_191&products_id=2716

 

I bought my girlfriend Beats because she liked it though, so...

yes the AKG K518 LE in fushia, brilliant headphones, perfect for a girlfriend, and i love the colour too. Get her to take the foam pads out though.

Audio Technica FC707 looks classy, if she wants the all-out colourburst schemes like Skullcandy then I doubt any self-respecting audio company would have such a model.

Sorry I didn't see that.  Any of the good looking ones for under $100 are all fashion accessory headphones in my opinion

 

These are frowned upon in the head-fi community, but I had a set and my gf stole them so they at least look good enough that she wears them around

The Audio Technica FC700As (as well as several of the other sub-$100 Audio Technica models) come in many colors, and sound good for their price tag.

the AKG K518 is considered a very good entry can still, and after a few mods they really shine. Panasonic RP-HTX7 are good also, and people were surprised by the sound as they currently go for 30USD, they also come in pink, and are light, comfortable but dont fold up, so not quite as portable as the AKG's.

x2 on the AKGs.  I think the Fushia ones would be a good fit, and they're less than $40 new on Amazon.
