Poll! : Do Grados look good (generally)?

[Jahn]

I'm glad the poll said "cool" and not "beautiful" because of course the AT cans are more beautiful. But Grados are cool!

Sorry but they were the MDR-XD400

 

[kin0kin]

honestly, no. only those with metal cups really look good

 

[mrarroyo]

They look good and sound even better.

With exception of the balanced PS-1 ~ yEa!

Frankenstein electrodes .

I did love them among a bunch really yet before getting them .

Now I love the very minimalist approach of their design the most over other headphones I have .

 

[boodi]

true that ps-1 don't look so good to me

Only the hp1000's pull off the cool/retro look. The rest all fail. But man oh man, do those hp1000's look awesome. The RS series are ok, but not quite there. The black platic series and the new fatboys don't do it for me.

Let's be real - outside of the head-fi bubble we live in Grado's are not retro-chic, they're just old and they look dated. These headphones are female repellants.

Oh I dunno, I've had a few run-ins with the opposite sex, the topic being the grados on my noggin...

Well I can't say that I like the Grado look. They definitely aren't beautiful or anything like that but they aren't ugly either. But anyway I had to vote "No".

But don't worry Grado lovers. Stax - by far - has the a number one position when competing in the ugliest headphones.

They look very prosaic like someone put them together in their garden shed (IMO) but as long as they sound good that's what counts at the end of the day.

Grados have a very simple and practical look which I really like.

I'm loving that retro cool!
