CES 2008: Fugliest headphones awards - Engadget

ugly as these headphones may be, I believe Duggeh and other members of Team ugly might be able to out-do these samples.

Gaudy colour schemes on a normal headphone does not a ugly make.

Well actually they would be fuglier if they were all white...

The green one is actually pretty cool when you're playing halo...

Nice iems Dr Dre....hope they sound as good as your new headphones.

I just love it when headphones proudly state "high quality digital sounds" on their packaging

Means nothing! Those pink ones look like they were made for gay men on construction sites haha

Reminds me of a Simpsons episode!

I'm pretty sure those are painted Koss UR29 headphones with the addition of a microphone. They don't sound all that great so you'd probably be disappointed by the sound quality.

...That is, if they are infact Koss UR29. They certainly look like the black Radio Shack rebranded ones I have loaned out somewhere.

I'd rather be caught wearing those than wearing the K1000.

That is, provided that those who caught me didn't know what the K1000 was, and that I didn't get to keep them after...

 

[krmathis]

ugly they sure are...

They say hip and stylish, so they must be good!

I really like the green/brown color scheme, though maybe a sage green would have been better. What do we want? Seventies colors! When do we want them? etc.

I briefly used to work construction before I became an academic. I wouldn't tease a gay contractor, man. The gay guy on a construction crew is going to be the toughest guy there.
