[HeadCred]

I think everyone that has posted so far has skipped my two paragraph intro into which I put a good bit of thought. Please take my first two posts as examples, please do not consider this a conventional thread.

x2 on both points.  While the Jelkin Floats and Ergos are ugly, I think the Peerless/MB Quart floats are attractive and worthwhile design.  I own the MB Quart QP 85.
 
The Stax Sigmas that were pictured on the magazine cover are the ultimate in function over aesthetics.
 
I'd nominate Thunderpants and the LCD 2 as high quality headphones both in terms of function and aesthetics.

Two noteworthy designs produced by Yamaha.
1: HP-1 designed by Mario Bellini.
2: YHL-003 designed by the Porsche Design Group.

I've always wondered how comfortable the YHL-003 are.  They don't look comfortable.  They're also interesting  looking when folded up.

I just want to display the design in earnest, a post isn't valid or invalid because of the post-ers opinion of "what is beautiful," I actually hope to celebrate people's diverse tastes. It's the design of the headphone that I'm hoping to feature here, so in that light, discussion about whether people like them or not is kinda petty. I'm just envisioning a gallery of pictures, no text. A mosaic I suppose.

For headphone designs..The 010/K1000/DT48 & some early Koss headphones come to mind.

Audio technica, for sure:
 


The HD800's are also amazing.
