Just out of curiosity, what do you think are the best and sexiest looking earphones on the market?

My nomintion: audio technica ath-em7. They are so beautiful with the aluminum casing and just the overall attractiveness is just so great.

What do u think?

MDR-E888 in my view, just so beautiful!

I second Krayzie w/ E888. Ugliest is ER-4P.

ya i have to admit the e888's are beautiful

The EM7s are definitely lookers. E888s are up there as well, and those newish Cresyn earbuds have definite style too. My E565s are bulky, but have that nice gold trim that makes them very attractive.

Unfortunately, to me the best *looking* earphones are the B&O A8s. But note that I only said "looking." ^_^

Sorry guys, wrong thread (when I saw earphones automatically thought headphones)

ATH-CM5's aren't bad for the normal earbud category. I'd go with ATH-EM7's for overall though, they're so slick and clean looking.

ER-4's are definitely not the ugly monster everyone seems to refer to them as. Think about it: when they're in your ears, you only see the black tube stick out, and they're angled correctly for most wearers I think. They're ugly ducklings with swans hidden inside.

Earphones are small.

i would have to say that i think almost all audio technicas are attractive. its just seems that no matter the type its one of the best looking of that "group" (this is of course in my opinion)

Personally, I have to say Shure E2c and Shure E5c are very, very sexy looking. Even when you don't have them in your ears...

I think E2c is a very good headphone, hard to say if it's the best in its class (I haven't compared them to any Ety's).

E5c is awesome... once again, never compared themto ER-4's...

the Grado hp1000---perfect headphones just amazigly perfect! The bass, treble and highs are all dead equall! Which is what makes them so great. They are very attractive in their own way.

 

[krayzie]

I think these are sexy too!

Found these pics on google... **drool**

...used to wear Audio Technica ATH-W100's, I used to sort of want myself, just by association. I would sit in front of the mirror in awe of what I was looking at. They command awe, fix attention and hypnotize with their visuals like a fine woman, to my eyes, and they especially look good while you wear them (unlike some headphones *cough*stax*cough* in which you look like a major nerdbomber). They "worked" on my head in every visual way, I just wish they were more sonically versatile!

AT really does make a stunning line and the W100's are no exception, despite their "lower-end" construction (compared to W1000's, etc.) Disregarding that limited sound versatility, they are just beautiful pieces of work.
