We want to know what is most important to you about your headphones. Most people would probably say sound quality, so go into detail a little. Is it powerful low frequency you look for or stability at high volume? Do you prefer a balanced set that performs well across the board? Or is it the look and feel of the set? What is the most important factor in deciding your perfect headphone or Earphone?
I think the thing that is most important to me is the price vs. performance ratio. Granted we all have different opinions in this regard, but I think the fact is myself and others share the sentiment of getting the most bang for the buck. I think that's one of the reasons for certain brand popularity (i.e. Grado because of their dramatic step up in performance as opposed to your typical brick and mortar SkullCandy/Bose headphones. Also, the fact that they Grado's are low(er) impedance makes them much more accessible to people, so that's another thing to consider.
I'm willing to sacrifice a bit in terms of aesthetics, a sentiment which I imagine Phiaton does not share with me as the headphones attempts to bridge sound quality with aesthetics.
I guess as a plus/sidenote, it helps that we do see such headphones in person in a brick and mortar location; with Phiaton being based in Irvine,CA, i've seen their headphones @ the UCI bookstore and all I can say is they certainly are interesting aesthetically
