Vintage early 80's - AKG K-1 baby!

But seriously, look at their K-100, it looks like a dinosaur version of the K501 right?

Amazingly, the K-1000 was a return to form, as in, ugly. But yes the K-1 was a portable can, and the only one of the series that year that gained any popularity, due to its collapsable nature.

hmm maybe not THE ugliest but this hd 212 and the like from sennheiser in brite silver is a bit too much for me

 

[BRBJackson]

Now that I've seen Jahn's post, I'm changing my vote to the AKG K-1... jeez what a mess

ah.........yes the 212's and ilk are very stupid looking.......i dont know how the engineers at sennheiser thought that was an appealing look......

 

[acg2424]

I like the look of the HD212.

 

[GreenEggs313]

my 212's are sitting on my desk, but that pic is more hi-res than the actual phsycial headphones sitting in front of me.

resize that pic

Bose QuietComfort 2. It might not be ugly, but it looks like a nightmare to me.

The AKG K501's aren't the prettiest thing on the block, but I ordered them anyway.

Consider it a fix for headphone hair when it gives you a free haircut
