Thought this might be fun. To me the aesthetics are part of the headphone experience. They can be proudly displayed like a piece of art. Without further adu….here is my top 5.

1. ZMF Verite Open. With so many options to customize, I have to click on the picture every time I see one. The base wood models can be stunning let alone the LTDs.

2. Kennerton Wodan. There is nothing out there that has a look even close to being comparable. I am partial To the combination wood model that is out there.

3. Rosson Rad-0. There are some beautiful combinations out there. I like the styles that have painted grills the best.

4. tie…. Stabilized versions of the Kennerton Rognir and ZMF Verite Closed. I have only seen one Rognir with the stabilized wood. it was stunning. The ZMF stabilized are memorizing.

5. Focal Utopia…this one is nice from afar…but when it is in your hands, you cannot help but admire the sheer beauty.

as you can see I am a sucker for wood.

... only based on sheer outer beauty ... (definitely not the recommended way to rate headphones) ... well here I go:

LCD3 (Zebrawood on my sample looks just stunning)
LCD4z (I like the golden grill, the carbon headband and the aestetics in general)
Utopia (just well made in every sense and the carbon pretty cool as well)
Eikon (very nice padauk wood finish)
Susvara (brushed aluminium looks pretty nice)

1) Kennerton Wodan. Just so crazy and cool.
2) Klipsch HP3. Substitute classy for crazy above.
3) Grado GS3000e. Substitute Cocobolo for crazy above.
4) Audeze LC2 closed (the original with the crooked 'A' thing on the cups. ) If Head-Fi had an NFL team this is what their helmets would look like.
5) ZMF. Any of 'em.

I guess I took the OP's post a little too literal ... assuming that "Your top 5 Most beautiful full size headphones" means "my" (currently owning) most beautiful headphones ...

since it seems everybody else meant that different I'd adjust my post buy saying all the 5 most beautiful headphones are probably limited special versions of ZMF headphones

3: LSA HP-Diamond (they look familiar? )

4. Focal Celestee

5. Beyerdynamic DT 1990

This is a tough one. There are so many headphones that I consider really beautiful. I'll try to rank the best 5; however, the positions are rather fluid, and may change from time to time.

1) Fostex TH900 Mk2 (Sapphire Blue)
2) Kennerton Thror (Bubinga)
3) ZMF Verite Closed (Camphor Burl)
4) Meze Audio Empyrean (Jet Black)
5) Klipsch Heritage HP-3 (Walnut)

 

[Strayngs]

Yes pictures are great. My honorable mention was the TH900 either green or blue. I like the HP-3 too. My wife has only shown interest in 3 headphones and I went out of my way to make sure I got each of them for her. They were the white Meze 99 classics, the oak Klipsch HP-3 and the Verite with Rose Gold grills. Over time the HP-3 and the Meze were sold because they had no head time as I had better headphones. However, my wife needs reassurance almost weekly that I wont sell or trade the Verite LOL (she knows me well!).

 

[KPzypher]

Taking into consideration interesting design, build quality, uniqueness, etc.

Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro (industrial and masculine design).
Focal Stellia (finest leather)
ZMF Verite camphor burl (the wood)
Sennheiser HD 820 (concave glass)

 

[tudedude]

In no particular order:
-Focal Radiance
-Denon 9200

-LCD 2 Shedua

-Meze Imperium
-Kennerton Thror

 

[Mightygrey]

This is a tough one, but here we go:

1. Grado GS3000e
2. Grado PS2000e
3. Klipsch HP3
4. Audio Technica ATH-AWKT
5. Beyerdynamic DT1990

 

[Nostoi]

By sheer coincidence, I'd select the ones I own. But I'd also add the satisfying aesthetics of the DT1990 Pro as my final choice.

7) Audio Technica WP900. That wood flame treatment, whatever its called. So cool
