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

Here is for some subjective views. IMO one of the ugliest headphones concieved, more like a head torture device from the dark ages. Sweet, it's a witch, torture her with a Grado! Feel the pain you abomination! Rub those foam into her ears until they bleed!

Other than for the AD900 and A900Ti, I can't comment on how they sound, but I'd say, in no particular order:

• ATH-W2002
• ATH-L3000/ATH-L3000G
• ATH-ESW10JPN
• ATH-W11JPN
• ATH-W5000
• ATH-AD900
• ATH-ESW9
• ATH-ES7
• ATH-A900Ti
• ATH-ON3
• K702
• HD 580 Jubilee
• HD 595
• HD 555
• AH-D7000
• AH-D5000
• Qualia 010 (blue)
• SRS-007ii
• SE530

and of course

• Ti HF78SKC29

The edition 8 looks really amazing to me but I'm sure opinion is very different because it does look like a luxury car ripoff. Luckily my pro 900's look like $50 headphones, looks cheaper than the HFI's, less likely to get robbed ^^.

What makes you think that?



The girl in your last picture isn't wearing an ATH-ES7. I mean this picture:

She's wearing an ATH-SJ1.

AKG K701, and to a slightly lesser extend the K702, even though the detachable cable makes them much better functionally. I'm planning on picking up a pair of 702s before I go back to school...

aesthetic is not about comfort, otherwise the es7 would fail even faster.

^ don't like the darth thingies at all! too rounded, no edges, and the curves are not particularly pretty either: they are just not exciting to look at.
