The most beautiful headphones you know of?

Excellent post....helps a nub like me learn a little more about what is out there! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the slave collar though....

I am partial to my Headphile Cocobolo Deep Cup Darth Beyers:

And also my Beyer Manufaktur DT770/600:

Beyers DT48 and Sony MDR-V6. Wooden Grados also look nice. I have a strong dislike for the looks of Sennheiser's HD5x5, though I own a pair of HD595s. Sony's SA5000 and the similar looking ones also look awful. Ugliest cans I've ever seen are probably the Qualia.

Dude, we have absolutely nothing in common.

 

[pyrokid]

the hp1000 is the best, in my opinion.
Dang, that's purdy.

I love the look of the Dennon AH D7000, very simple but "classy" looking.

I absolutely love the look of the K701.

I actually think the Pro 900s look really good...

This one cracked me up. I needed that laugh thx halftrack.

It's unfair to compare any of these to the phones in custom woods, but each is about as perfect in form as I've seen:

1. Qualia 010: Elegant mix of modern design and black mesh, like a modern showpiece 9.5/10
2. Pioneer SE-L40: Has the kind of old-style elegance that Grados lust after 9/10
3. Sansui SS-100: Mesh and opulent leather; this does the style better than anything I've seen. 8.5

On the other hand...

Jecklin Float: Painful to look at, probably equally awkward to wear.
Ergo 2: Looks like plastic play headphones, almost cumbersome.
Koss Porta-Pro: Cheap-looking and old-fashioned
