I've actually always thought they looked kind of cheap. I think it might be the glossy plastic that really does it for me.

I've never really been much for the ice cream colors though - I guess I like more of a sleek, flat, discrete design more.

I like vintage and wooden!
Or creative and complex, matte black with brushed silver accents! Mmmm that is a beautiful can

IMO I like the look of Beats Studio but not HDs. Then again I am biased againt on-ears, either IEM or Over-ear for me.

I love the look of the new AKGs

they have to step up their game in sound quality, they're not quite as first choice as they used to be

All there new stuff is unpopular :/

They need to step up their BUILD quality too. I just took apart an AKG K167 with broken hinges and it's made of the worst plastic you could imagine inside. Just crap.

Saw somebody with silicone ciem's. I have no idea which brand was it, I couldn't it. It was probably Spiral ear or ACS.
 
Yes, I was bloody jealous.

I agree! The Beats aren't terrible but they are terribly overprice.

You can get beats at really good prices if you can find the b-stock section of their website (pro for $250, studio for $170) however, I just don't like the consumer culture that the beats brand represents.

Saw some Audio Technica ATH M-50S's in a commercial for the Lincoln XTS.  I guess it would have been too much of a cliche' to use Beats.

i was watching tv the other day and a car commercial comes on. i see just the tip of the cable plugged into an android phone and i immediately shout "that's an m50!" my two loves, android and quality headphones. I believe it was an Acura commercial that they were trying to make a big deal about the sound. well done Acura. . . well done. Submitting this while wearing an m50 in a sea of skullcandy, Ibuds and Beats. it's almost every day that someone asks to try them out and all i hear is "that's fantastic" "that's really comfy" or "needs more bass" so i turn on one of my many Custom EQ's on my Ipod and blow their mind with my nano5g+fiio e6 combo+cable modded m50+beyer velvet pads.
so happy that they advertise their audio system with a kid wearing some proper headphones.

Shh! They might think the Solo HDs are better, because it has four. 

Aaaanyway.. Momentum and Amperior, one of each. A Razer Orca, and some HD448s. Awesome day.

do you rockbox your ipod?
and I'm really dissapointed in AKG, look at them, alive for 60 years taking the heaphone world by storm with their k1000 and k701/q702 and they turn to another company for support, is it me or are people being too soft with business, where are the people who will fight to keep themselves going and churning out good headphones at the same time? come on AKG you have some great sound engineers, talk to them, let them do the tech spec works, choose materials yourself and let tiesto do the aesthetics, not the other way around, game faces on please!!!! I think if that happened AKG would be back up there instead of second rate headphones, always runner up to something else, akg k271-mkII nice pair of cans, but audiotechnica ad900x can beat them (just an example)

I saw of of Sony's new XB-series headphone on the bus today. It was bright green.

Saw an ED8 in the wild today. Didn't see that coming.

Just as a comment related to what's happening right now at the airport...I hate it when people wear open air full-sized headphones in public. It's a matter of respect. 

I'd rather listen to good music than have to listen to pointless gossip from girls/women screaming at the top of their lungs
