Here's another example of beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I must like them, I ordered a pair a couple of weeks ago.

mybad, in that case, it depends on how they order their woodies.

if its some little kid wanting to "pimp out" his cans, thats horrible, i think thats where cans like the this originate. but yeha, some of them are VERY ugly, however... i do quite like the closed darths in all black with the more exotic woods, and even the darth skybeyers, as they dont have nearly as much wood.

 

[subfocus]

What constitutes a good looking set of cans then? Exclusive sorts of wood?

Wood is good

as far as I'm concerned......exclusivity doesn't come into it............ Could be a Grado or a Darth , i'd love to own either.

 

[BushGuy]

I'm not sure if this question was about the handsomeness(vs otherwise) of Darths, or Darth owners.

 

[Mindless]

It was a question if the headphone looks good or not. As simple as that.

I think they look excellent. So much so that unheard I ordered a pair:

I'm still not 100% sure I buy into their sound, but for beauty they can't be beat. I do use them for certain recordings but right now they are more an example of Larry's art than a full time can for me. And before the flaming begins, that is just one old bald guy's opinion.

And no, I ain't sellin' 'em.

Above post actually belongs to one of the exceptions. That's a great looking can. The others have way too much curves that don't fit the headband well in my opinion.

Perfect example of blocky looking darth beyers. The wood and the lacquer, finishing and cable all look great, so why doesn't he make them look organic and smooth like at W5000, W2002, or denon 5000? All other wooden headphones look great to me, but they don't look blocky like larrys beyer mods generally seem to. Maybe he deemed they sounded best when carved in such a way, who knows Oo.

Haha, seems it is even possible to agree on this matter, but for opposing reasons

Conclusion: Personal taste.

 

[GSurge]

I like the look of most of them. Some of them are downright gorgeous. Some of them are just "meh" to me. But all in all, I would like to have one.

OTOH, I think the Grado RS-2 was crap.

I want someone to honestly tell me these are anything but beautiful:

 

[Jon118]

^Agreed

I absolutely love the look of Darth Beyers, I have no need for higher-end closed cans, but these are still one of the few on the list of what I would consider if I ever decide to upgrade again. I think Darths look great.

 

[porschemad911]

Not a fan. Headphones + paying extra for wood =

with me. I just don't like it enough on headphones for that.

I would buy a factory wood finish 'phone if it sounded great. But adding it to a non-woodie? For lotsa cash? Nah, not me.

 

[Towert7]

Some I like, others I don't. All depends on the wood used and the design.

There are many people who love the look and feel of wood, so they have appeal.

 

[Towert7]

Mindless, what is your opinion on these?

Think they look bad?
