To the OP: Keep in mind that headphones are meant to be worn on human heads. Some headphones, like the HD800's, are very beautiful when seen on a stand. But it's impressive in the same way that say, a spaceship would be impressive. Just because it looks nice viewed on display doesn't mean it'll look good on your head.

With that said, here's another one of the most gorgeous headphones ever made, the Grado Sr325:

I always did liike those. I think they should have kept the gold color on the 325.

[devilcm3]

think that ultrasones are quite eye catching..especiall with the metallic parts outside..

 

[krmathis]

Imo both the Stax SR-007BL and AKG K1000 are aesthetically pleasing and sounds great.
You can't ask for much more...

The fact that some people here like how the K1000 look can tell you that this aspect is VERY subjective indeed :-D

 

[moonboy403]

Actually, when I first saw a K1000 in person today at Canjam, I thought it looks very nice. It's pretty compact while pictures indicated otherwise.

Yeah, looks is subjective. Just like sound quality is subjective...
Still its discussed a lot around here.

 

[koshman]

Yeah, I know. But as someone said here - one thing is how the phones look on your table as a well-made electronic device (or whatever...) and something completely different is good-looking enough that you wouldn't mind at all wearing it in public. Of course, some people just don't care and SQ should always be a priority, but good looks is certainly an advantage.

Btw. I think my HD280Pro look fine

I second the RS1, I love the look of those things. They look stupid when I wear them (like a number of headphones), but look great hanging on a stand. Also like the look of the Omega IIs and L3000s (it always seems to be the expensive ones

). The ATH-AD900s look great too.

 

[chews89]

To Op - Are you kidding me? There are a LOT of phones that look good and sound good as well. IMO pretty much all headphones look decent, and some which look better than others. But there are a few that look ugly. But in the end it all comes down to personal preference and taste.

Honestly, if I think about all the headphones that are meant to sound good, I think that they are all very aesthetically pleasing - some random ones are RS1, HD650, DT880, es7, esw9, D2000 etc etc, the list is endless.

Grado HF-1 tickled my pickle.

Can't beat that black plastic Prestige Series with a wooden button. Retro, simple and elegant to a whole new level!

 

[xaval]

ES7 is clearly best looks for the buck. Other than that, SR-007BL, Brown L3000, the Darths, AT woodies.
