Hey Head-fi,
A friend of mine is looking for some headphones, and was considering getting Monster Beats, but I suggested otherwise, saying that she can get much better SQ, for a much lower (or at least, equal price).
To her, the most important quality is Appearance, and the second most is Sound quality. (However, I'd appreciate it if I could recommend her a pair of near-audiophile quality 'phones)
To give you an idea of what kind of looks she likes, she likes the:
Monster Diamond Tears: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5vsi5Dldi1rxxk2to1_400.jpg
I MEGO Thrones: http://www.yourtechreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Text-13.jpg
(Two very different looks, I know)
After browsing through the forums, the only 'phones I was able to find that I though would match her preference were the Logitech UE6000 : http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/surprisingly-good-logitec-ue6000-and-ue9000-page-2 But I don't know if these 'phones could compete with even the Monster Beats.
I also suggested the ATH-m50's, AKG-K550, Bowers and Wilkens P5, ATH-A700x, Denon D2000, and the V-moda M100 to no avail. (She liked the V-moda, but said that her hair would get caught in too many places. As well, she also liked the look of the AKG-K550.)
Any help or suggestions with the issue would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
