My DT150s are pretty damned ugly, but I love the sound..

I think some of those look pretty good lol (esp. the gold one, and the last sennheiser)

IMO beyer dt770/880/990s are pretty ugly. makes your head look really disproportionate

 

[steviebee]

Apart from the obvious attempts at teenybopper/rapper bling rubbish, in serious headphones I have to vote for Sennheiser HD-800 as a current pick. I mean, I'm a big Dr Who fan but these things look like they came out of the Cybermen HQ...

Previous vintage joys were those revolting neck-cushion things. What were they called?

Bugger, no pix for either. Well, I'm sure you all know what the Senns look like

Are you 15 ish? (no offense, I just think that no one above the age of 18 likes skullcandy, and I'm trying to find out.)

and, well, my vote goes to the zalman.
ugliest design ever.

I don't think we're talking about sound. I probably wouldn't wear those myself, but purely from a cosmetic point of view, those look fine IMO and I'd even go ahead and say they look good since I love jamaican themes.

The only way they'd look bad is if someone saw the logo and passed judgement on you based solely on that, but anyone who does that is probably prick anyway (the same people who will pass serious judgement on you based on your car/clothes)

When I saw the thread title, these were the first cans that came to mind!

I hated that gold color even before I knew skull candies were bad.
It's like somebody spray painted them gold

 

[a_tumiwa]

i think it`s jecklin...

 

[jjsoviet]

IMO any Skullcandy gets on my nerves... especially those pink and camouflage ones. Uuuugly. Why the hell then would teens buy those? For the looks? For lulz?

I'm only 16 but I hate their designs. I want minimalist, black ones. Darth Beyers, Sennheisers, Denons, even Grados look cooler to me.

 

[roadcykler]

I always thought the rectangular Stax models were odd looking and these are the oddest ones I've seen. Like wearing a small box on each ear.
