Best looking headphones?

I really love the look of the ATH M50. If only they sounded like they look.
I like the idea of Momentums but I dislike the design. They look terribly gimicky. The V Modas look like a 1337 gamer alienware headset, definitely not something I'd like to own.

How do you think the M50 should sound? To me they look like a practical, no-nonsense studio monitor with neutral-ish sound that's very revealing of treble flaws in a recording, and that's exactly what they sound like. I also didn't like the V-Moda look to begin with but they've been growing on me. I definitely prefer a classy, elegant design like the Sony 1R than the grungy, indie design of the V-Moda though.  
Speaking of Alienware, am I the only one who finds "gamer" PC cases hideous? Maybe it's because I'm not a gamer... but I would never want one of those ugly gaming cases in my house. The HP Elite series cases, on the other hand... ah, elegance!

It's not so much about how I think they should sound rather than how I would like them to sound. They're much too V shaped for me, I like a mid forward sound. When I say "if only they sounded like they look" I mean if only they pleased my ears as much as they please my eyes. I wasn't trying to say that their sound signature doesn't fit their aesthetic style.

I'd say audeze's and the fidelio x1 are the best looking headphones at the moment. Both companies really nailed it with the design

I agree with you on the X1 but not the audeze.  I also agree about the M100 that the other poster mentioned.

My favourite looking headphones are by Marshall, not sure of the exact name, but they are really cool. Here is a link from the place I'm gonna get 'em. Anyone know if I can get them cheaper anywhere else? http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/Marshall-Major-White-Headphones-with-Hands-Free-Speakerphone-Mic_i7033.htm
