Yeah, it seems like the flatter they are against your head, the better they will look when wearing them.

Agreed, I used to have 650’s in part because of how they looked. Maybe the Drop HD800 when it comes out will look ok. I know that they aren’t the best all-arounder’s, but it’s worth it to not look like Doc from Back to the Future or something.

I think I actually had that Walkman back in the 90’s.

Yeah, those headbands are a deal-breaker for me. I had Ether C Flow’s, but returned them because of the sound and that goofy strap.

I can’t unsee it now, haha.
Yeah I sort of agree with you, from an outside point of view they’re not really the most fashionable due to their sheer size. But the craftmanship and beautiful woodgrain sure makes them pop.
I should have made a clear distinction between yeah these are pretty and these make you look like you’re wearing dumbbells.

For indoor use it would be a ZMF headphone but if you cared about what people thought it would be a nice IEM such as the Legacy 3 with the clockwork pieces.
Oh yeah, I forgot about them. Among the most beautiful hedphones ever built (imo).
The wooden ones are super classy and elegant.

The ebony ones are just a really dark wood actually. I dig the walnut ones.

The Abyss 1266:
Has always made me think of a skull crushing torture device you’d see in the likes of a Saw movie:
Least graphic picture I could find, lol.

?

Lol. I wouldn’t call them the ugliest.
Also, would not stop me from listening to one, either, hahaha.

Might not stop me from listening to one, but it might stop me from buying one, lol.
On topic, here’s a pic of my Lawton Bolivian purpleheart chambers on my TH900 in good light:
Mark Lawton does an outstanding job on his chambers. They all look great.

Again, showing my bias here, but I fell in love with these at first sight. And they sound as good as they look!

I think any Lawton cups can be added to this thread. They don’t even have to be attached to a headphone

I know looks are subjective, I know not all of people can consider this as a “best-looking headphone” and I know I am a bit biased since I have been using it recently. But ever since YOU people convinced to go and get these back then, I just cannot stop anymore! I cannot escape it! With its looks of being minimalistic and just simple looking, I think to me, these are one of the best to look at.
I know it might sound weird but, the looks of these headphones and it sounds, correlates to me as a person, like yeah I might look boring and pretty plain, but once you get to know me in a way or you saw things from that person in-depth with sincerity, you will know at the end of the day that they are awesome in some ways. I don’t consider myself such as that AKA awesome, but I am just giving an example that I think that connects me with these and therefore I consider as best looking.
