Wow, that one's a hottie...

What is the most aesthetically pleasing headphone, in your opinion? Consider prettiness, coolness, cuteness, do-ableness, and anything else you might define as aesthetically pleasing. If i have left something off the list, please post a seductive photo of it!

I vote the W2002. It is beauty incarnate.

*headphones here are judged purely by superficial means.

**headphones ONLY. amps not factored into the decision with headphone/amp combos.

W100 by a wide margin.

For some image references, try KR's beautiful Headphone Lust gallery.

Audiocubes also has many of the headphones in question.

 

[kin3tix]

my vote goes to the W2002/W1000

btw...isn't that gallery KR...'s?

 

[LobsterSan]

What are you talking about, kin? it said KR's gallery all along...

my bad -- it's corrected now. nice find kinetix (btw, too bad you missed the meet! next time, eh?)

Where is the ATH-A1000 The very best AT headphone?

 

[andrzejpw]

I say W2002/W1000. Just so pretty.

 

[CaptBubba]

Grado HP-1. I really like shiny objects.

Sorry I don't like the look of GIANT headphones and WOOD BOWLS on my head. They may sound awesome, sure, but I ain't wearin' that anywhere I'm gonna be seen. Even my Beyers are too big and they are smaller than Sennheisers, AT's, and high-end sonys. I like small form *and* function. I think Grado's (SR325/HP1) and Sony eggos look kewler than all the rest.

The W1000 is it for me. Lacquer is just overdoing it.

hehe, sorry lou. i didn't mean to leave out the a1000 and the eggos -- i just ran out of poll space (and didn't want to have to retype it all). but one can only have so many AT phones in one poll -- they have the same look to them for the most part.

 

[AIM9x]

put the AKG-401s as an option, that's where my vote goes.....

HI: I understand but of course you left out the very best AT and the eggos are the best portable can. So here goes.
. ATH-A1000
. EggoD66
You should hear the ATH-A1000 out of the GILMORE amp
You should hear the eggoD66 with the super mini V4 with the new booster.
I hpoe this is ok but I feel better now and not left out

Thank You

ah, i see, i think you misunderstood the point of my poll -- i put forth the question, "which headphone is most aesthetically pleasing" -- i suppose maybe i should have said, most cosmetically pleasing or superficially pleasing to look/gawk at. the headphone could sound like crap, as long as it looks cool. i just wanted to see what people thought looked cool. hope this clears things up

 

[LTUCCI1924]

Oh please for give me for misunderstanding. looks cool then it a no brainier . eggo D66 looks real cool and also sounds real cool

You should see me at the laundry matt with my eggos on looking cool at the age of 60
