In that case prolly your best bet would be the ES7's , they are one of the best looking headphones out there. You could also try out AKG K81dj but they are somewhat dull looking.

The posts about the ES7's looking weird on the head, is it really that bad? The "cuteness" factor is kind of big. She is petite also...

How are the Fc700 at sound isolation both for the listener and sound leaking?

Those AKG's don't look too bad either.

Here is a friendly advice, dont think so much, just inky pinky ponky them and choose the one that comes out winner. lol

The ES7's can be driven really easily, so an iPhone will be fine .
Once they are burned in, their sound quality is excellent .
And they look rather nice.

Here's a relevant thread re fitting the ES7.

Also, her hairstyle might make the fit issue largely or entirely irrelevant. It's really mainly us guys with short-ish hair who feel it sticks out a little.

LOL...unfortunately I am a notorious researcher and wringer of hands, so I will fret over this decision.

I am leaning to the refurbished ES7 for $55. Now, I can get those thru Beach Camera or Buydig. Any idea which company is better, especially returns?

 

[episiarch]

I think you'll be happy with the choice of the ES7.

 

[InFn-0]

Go for the ES7's, even though i have never heard them, they are still very well regarded headphones that wont let you down.

Buy dig has 16,426 seller ratings with an average of 4.5/5 if you check it from google product search, while i cannot find Beach Camera in the first page, so i guess Buy Dig will be the wiser choice.

beach camera is legit

 

[xuxu]

how about an iGrado, painted a girly color ?

 

[volntitan]

If the 60i Grado wasn't open air, I would probably get those, but the key is that the stuff she is listening to doesn't "leak" so that others could hear it. She will be using them in the library alot.

lol I keep checking back here to see if you finally decided on a pair

 

[volntitan]

Nozr...

You have no idea the hand wringing I go thru. First I am sold on the ES7. Then I wonder about the JVC's I mentioned or the Creative Audio ones that apparently are Denon "clones". The I wonder if I should just go for the cheap panasonics....Then I'm back to the ES7....

All this for a 21 year old who honestly wouldn't know the sound difference anyway...
