Grado makes decent phones in a variety of price ranges (read: quality ranges) but they leak sound pretty badly if that's something you care about

What do you guys think about my AKG K518?

I bought them almost two years ago thinking they look cool, but now I don't wear them anymore because I have the feeling they make me look like a tool.

Pic isn't me but that's how I think they make me look like. Should I sell em or give them another chance?

urbanears have a good sound quality for a reasonable price. they have different models, here the more expensive version ('zinken'), different colors available.
i got the cheaper ones ('plattan') they have a very good sound quality, look good, are robust and stayed with me for 4 years now.

Phonon 4000's

great sound clarity with low ear fatigue at high volumes and with extended usage

simple look and design
>>
>>10871899
These and the ones in the OP lool pretty effay
>>
Aiaiai and Jays make good looking headphones that sound good, too. If you want the best sounding headphones you won't have the best design.
>>
>>10873104
By the way, those Aiaiai Tma headphones only sound good with electronic music. They do, however, fit the "techno interests me"-look well.
>>
Honestly open ears look best and sound best, but they aren't a good idea for public use.

All in all, you don't need aesthetic headphones.

no matter how much they remodel their earbuds, they're still shit quality, 320kb/s stuff sounds like 256kb/s or worse. this is to say nothing of the damage these cause to your ears. My cartilage got fucked up by em, but that's on me.

That doesn't work how you think it works. For example, a 256kbps AAC sounds better than a 320kbps MP3.

Status HD Two is pretty minimalist, so you won't stand out like a retard, also really high quality in both construction and sound for under $100
>>
>>10873204
I think I got some fakes off amazon because mine sounded like absolute dogshit. Just really terrible. Not worth a $1 even, one side was SUPER quiet. Just almost exclusively bass, no mids or highs at all.

I'm so burned I don't know if I could bring myself to order another pair in fear of getting shitty ones again.

As far as fakes go this one was packaged SO nicely. Like it looked 100% like the official packaging.

Not sure what the fuck you're talking about here m8 but that said Apple Headphones are dick.

>>10877559
if they were real they would have a little QR code tag on the cable to scan to check if they're legit. although i imagine that could be easily faked too

The prevalence of well made fakes is why I'm glas they just sell them through their site now.

There's no such thing as "fashionable" headphones. Just stick to using headphones at home or at the gym and use earphones everywhere else unless you want to risk looking like a child.
