A lot a people feel the way you do and who am I to say that you are wrong? That would be preposterous. Many people just want to use things without thinking about them; "Good design is no design." On the other hand, it is the job of industrial designers to care about these issues. Apple computers wouldn't be where it is today without Jonathan Ive. Also, if design doesn't matter, look at the tumultuous and heated career of Chris Bangle at BMW. Both designers, for good and for ill, have had epic careers.

In my opinion, headphones are meant to give a comfortable listening experience, looks be damned. |
