Easy. I can see jaws drop everywhere with your Orpheus connected to a 12 volt car battery and your smallish MD!

Seriously, my vote goes for the Sony F1, the Grado RS-1 and the Technics DVD-A cans. Those are the ones I've seen in real life and consider pretty or stylish.

judging from the absolutely orrid bass, those things need a lot of damping as well. besides, they're ugly

stylish cans IMO: Senn HD580 and Grado RS1.

IMO, the Sennheiser 75th aniversary model of the HD-580 was one of the classiest looking cans. Imagine an HD-600 with carbon fiber looking (x-y layup of the fibers visible) carbon fiber instead of kitchen countertop look.
