I voted for the Qualia. An odd design, but I like it. Second will probably be the Leatherheads.

Truthfully though, I think the W2002 trumps them all in terms of looks.

Omega II is the nicest looking one out of those few. IMO.

 

[yaufei]

I have never seen or hear any of the headphones mentioned, but from the pictures i vote for the Qualia.

I really like the Omega I's down-to-earth elegance.

 

[Chefguru]

Wow no votes for the r10! This is turning out really interesting.

I'm wondering if I maybe was to generous with the omega II photos, because in person the thing is an ugly POS. I was actually thinking of not even putting the omega II on it was so ugly, oh well I guess every one has different taste.

Added 2 new Sr-omega photos.

Well, the W2002 is beautiful no doubt, but the L3000 is deceivingly nice in person. Its look & feel is more substantial and has great presence. I'd be hard pressed to pick between them in the looks department; I may even prefer the L3000. Of course, the W2002 case is far superior. Tough call overall. Anyways, I voted L3000 despite not having seen the others in person

Chefguru, nice use of my L3000 pic - good to know it was worth the effort

Lol, love the PS-1 packaging pic, though perhaps it's too generous - that's a real nice, color label printed on the top! I don't think Grado labs has that technology yet

Haha, yah I think Grado actually just writes " Grado ps-1" in pen on a piece of paper and then glues it to the box.

It says visual presentation not you've heard it or not...Visual presentation as in how good it looks....

Anyway, the Qualia's butt ugly ( no pun intended ) and the Omega 2's are the sweetest looking pair of cans you'll ever find on earth!

The Omega IIs are really good looking headhones in person. Here's a pic of mine with a headphile stand.

There ok I guess... Idn man the pads look pretty cheap (along with most of the parts, specially the cable). I think the SR-Omega had a much better look.

PS-1. No contest.

I guess it comes down to taste. The metal, rotating earpad cups look anything but cheap. The cables feel expensive. Actually, I really like the way the screens are designed and the shape of the electrodes

I haven't seen the SR-Omega in person (and don't trust stock photography) so can't comment there.

 

[smittysan89]

Qualia for sure. Then the Orpheus, even though they arent much different than the HD6xx series I still love the look!
