What is your favorite looking headphone?

Bonus points if it's weird, but it doesn't have to be. Personally, I like the beige colored headphones from sennheiser. Like the ivory hd 598.

I like the Fiio FT3 350 ohm, they sound good too, but ear cups are too small. The Sennheiser HD700 looks good and the most comfortable too with stock pads. Maybe the Focal Utopia are in the top five, great fit and finish but didn't think they were worth the price.

Most Macassar Ebony, Redwood Burl, or Maple (most varieties, I find) ZMFs score very, very highly for me. Especially the open-back models which have grills to integrate into the design. I'll be the heretic and admit that the Blackwood (and for that matter, most resin/stabilized models, either - with noteworthy exceptions) ZMFs most folks seem to fawn over, don't do much for me.

I'll give honorable mention to Meze's non-numbered lineup. The 99/105/109/etc series aren't doing much for me, but Poet, Liric, Empy, and Elite are all proper works of visual art.

HD820 is also cool - glass back showing off the driver? Now that's some rare, cool stuff.

Raal Immanis, DCA E3, Empy, Arya Unveiled, Atrium Open Gold tone (whatever they call it) all come to mind quickly.

Focal clear, mostly because you dont look as stupid wearing them (relatively) and its a pretty timeless design, some of the zmf LTD stuff is stunning aswell. Not a headphone but the Alpha&omega omega makes me feel like a mermaid

The 1266 is an engineering marvel, but it makes u look beyond stupid

I'd like to see some Macassar Ebony ZMF 's if anyone has pics!

Stunning!

If we are talking about looks, and not sound, I have always had a soft-spot for the Sennheiser HD430, provided the foam behind the grill is still a nice gold colour:

I like grille

Probably the Focal Utopia
