Not that I'm very into looks or anything, but just today I was thinking about the coolest looking decently portable headphone (i.e. doesn't require a tricked out amp to power, and isn't CD3000 huge).

To me, the Eggos weren't bad looking, but messed with my hair, and it did look like 2 black eggs were sticking out of my ear...

I think the RS1's would be the best-looking, with that retro wood look - it isn't hard to drive, but isolation isn't good... any other opinions?

good looking, but susceptible to damage.

i would say the senn px200s or the koss kc35s if you're into the retro look.

then again if you're concerned about your hair you might to consider a earbud - how about the mx500 or the etys?

easy one
ATH-EM7

thanks guyferd- gosh how could i forget THAT!

but it's a little light on the bass side.

didnt really want to believe everyone else's opinion on it but after i tried it, well, had to concede, it's just that weeny bit on the bright side.

but hell, it looks great though.

fyi, audio technica also manufactures tons of other cool looking headphones for portables. i remember clearly seeing one in a 'winter camo' design (very light blue-dark blue-light grey). cant give any other specifics though. they did look cool though.

Another vote for the PX200. Great design for a portable headphone. Sound is pretty decent, too!

I'd say the B&O A8's that or the em7's

EM7's a great summer phone. You can wear it all day in summer without getting drenched in sweat. Even the PX series suffer from this. Stax SR-001 is quite pimp in a simpler way.

Just on looks I have to go with the px200s too.
px100s are nice too but 200s just a bit better looking

i have some raver style maxell behind the neck headphones with leds on the outside of the earpieces that light up to the music. people seem to prop those a lot. they sound like crap but hey, they cost like 12 bucks.

as for headphones that i think sound good? hp550 (though i'm sure plenty here think they look and sound less than great)

I think some of the Beyers are really good looking and dont need an amp to power

 

[SptsNaz]

dont all beyers need an amp to power them up>?

 

[fappar]

I like the em7s the best... how are they audio-wise compared to the ksc35s?

 

[Trounce]

PortaPros all the way, baby! I am in love with their blue retro design and easy foldability.

My vote is for the PX100 ~ PX200.

To me, the 5 spoke design looks like japanese racing rims.

maxell blinking light earphones.

really, portapros, of the headphones worn by people on the streets. Ive seen the px200 too, but it doesnt scream attetion, hehe.
