Sorry if this is thread has been annoyingly done before, if so feel free to yell at me.

If sound quality was directly related to the visual looks of headphones, given an infinite budget, in your opinion which pair would you buy?

My pick would probably be the white AKG K701's, or perhaps the AKG K242s.

Discuss!

L3000 / ESW10JPN / Grado RS1

but yes, plenty of those threads around here.

Too many headphones that I find beautiful!

Most of the AT woodies, Stax Omega & O2, HiFiMAN HE-5 / HE-LE, Sennheiser HE90, Pioneer SE-L40 and Smeggy's crafted ThunderPants -- I think someone from Whiplash Audio made some very nice hybrid headphones that had some lovely wood cups.

Those are just a few that come to mind.

I completely agree.

 

[nikongod]

Grado SR60

 

[MarkyMark]

ATH-W5000 and the latest glossy AT woody.

The ATH headphones are the best looking

es7/9/10, ws70, ath-w5000, just gorgeous

ATH has the most good looking headphones... almost the same but more true.

One headphone that just screams "I sound GOOD" is the Stax O2. Color is not that important, but preferably black.
Other Staxes say the same thing, just less loud.

and this topic really is a worthless clone without at least one picture.

Wow I think this thread only took days this time to get asked again. LoL

Well I got my AKG K171 MKII headphones today, and I think they're quite sexy.

I agree. It's my new dream headphone, if just on looks alone! Though I prefer the silver. Normally I love black on a headphone, looks refined and sophisticated. But there's something about the silver O2 (and metal Grados among others) that just looks so hi-fi, so unique and attractive.

Not actually. My head is freakishly small and they look extremely ridiculous. Sound good there, though
