The retro look is cool, and gets better with each step-up (from sr-60 to ps-1)

I think they do, what do you think?

The look of Grado is unique, just like their sound... They definetly look good when worn 'properly'

(i.e. on the street in the public place to attract maximum 'Are you for real?' stares)

IMHO, Grados look, how HPs should look in general. Design is part of the Grado hype. Faithful & straight design. No ugly pig feeders like my Beyers...
I would've taken a closer look if there wasn't that (excuse me) specific frailty of utilized materials and the recessed accessibility in Europe.

They look pretty retro-cool to me, and I quite like them.

But honestly, they're an acquired taste and I can imagine how non-audio geeks will think that you're an absolute retard for wearing something like Grados to go out.

Which is why I don't

seriously, to make a good poll the answers should be direct and objective. Your choices were:
"Yes, they rox!
No, look old and just not smooth like Audio-Technicas"

but what if i think that grados are ugly, but audio technicas are even worse??? Also, by adding little comments like that, it biases the poll. someone m ay have been about to click "yes" because they think they are nice, but upon seeing the ATH comment they may think "hm well they're not as good as audio technicas. i better selecy 'no'". A simple "yes" and "no" answer would be better . if you want to make comments, leave it for the post!

Also you need more options! Yes, i thikn grados are pretty okay looking, but i wouldn't say "they rox!". They're just pleasent, or above average

/just saying.

When I put the C-Pads and beyer head band on my MS-1 they look like different headphones. They look very comfortable and bigger.
