While I'm on the subject of designs I like, I thought I'd bring up the Ultrasone Edition 12. It's based largely on the Edition 10, the appearance of which I've been a fan of since it was first announced years ago. In fact my first posts on head-fi were about the design of the Edition 10. The newest addition to the Edition family substitutes the brown-dyed Ethiopian animal flesh for grey, and the zebrawood inlay has been replaced with pearlescent metal. The result is a headphone that looks decidedly icier than its sibling. A curious foil to their sound which is said to be warmer and more easy-going than the previous iteration.

The Edition 12 is meant to be a more versatile "everyday" kind of thing versus the Edition 10. TBH, I always felt the Edition 10 was fairly underrated. Ultrasone has a lot of product variation, so I think my particular set was always better than most. I'd really like to listen to the Edition 12 someday soon.
