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

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.

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
