I'm looking at to get some headphones that are mainly based on looks/isolation/comfort. I want good sound too but that's secondary to the other aspects.  For looks, I'm looking for something that looks like the sennheiser hd228's, monster beats, or the bose on ear headphones.  Is there any headphones that meet these criteria?  Thanks alot guys.
 
PS: I listen to rap/hip hop mainly

ATH-M50's are pretty good. You have a pretty wide range of prices though.

it has to be under 100$ for sure, and i already have the m50's, they aren't that comfortable and they look really big.  the cord is also too long to travel with.

Just on looks, comfort, and isolation?
 
HAS700.
 
EDIT: I would like to note that the HAS700 is 80% identical to bose around ear.

Audio Technica ATH-ES7 - I used to own a pair. They're relatively small closed headphones, very well suited for travel. Can't beat the looks.

ATH-SQ5. Really comfortable little phones and they come in a couple of colors to boot. Long-term comfort and isolation are much better than ATH-ES7 but they don't look as flashy. Bass is tight but not lacking, midrange is smooth and liquid, and the treble is sparkly but not harsh. I think they come in a couple of colors, too, though the black ones are cheapest.

Are those your ES7s? As far as I know genuine ES7s dont come with a bag like that...

bro those look fake :[
 
and the es7 are dreadfully uncomfortable lol.  They got everything else though.

 

[mastapro]

yea i was gonna get the es7 but i heard they were REALLY uncomfortable.  about the SQ5, i don't really like the look of it, the ear part is a bit too long and looks weird

I had the SQ5 when it was first released way back, I found them very uncomfortable and the SQ to be very average.

 

[mastapro]

any other ideas guys?

No, the photo isn't mine. Mine came with a felt bag iirc, and not the kind depicted in the photo.
 
I didn't find the ES7 uncomfortable, and I have a large noggin. If it's too tight, you can always stretch the head band. I didn't have comfort issues with the padding of the cups either. YMMV.
 
I wouldn't discount them based on comfort issues as it will depend on the individual. I've seen refurb ES7 sell for less than $50, so if comfort is the only issue, then for that kind of price, it's worth giving a shot imo.

senheiser HD 202's
 
amazing sound, comfort, price, quality
they're a little bulky though, but totally worth it

 

[mastapro]

lol weird, i also had the hd202, and it broke after like 3 months... any other suggestions
