Depending on your fit, grados can look pretty good. I like how the audio technical m50s look. But a lot if people say they are ugly. items are probably the ways to GI, seeing as the 2 best looking headphones (imo) are the vmoda m100 and the sennheiser momentums which are both $300

I own a pair of these. They sound fantastic and isolate very well, but aren't for home use. (Philips Citiscape Downtown) I also wouldn't say they are exactly appealing to look at, they are pretty ugly, in my opinion. I have the purple version

Those are like 300 I'm pretty sure.

The ATH-M50s(I am wearing a pair right now) are way too big to wear outside. They are pretty sexy though, I must admit.

You know what, OP? I would probably wear some IEMs if I cared about fashion. I would look into brand names like sennheiser or rockit for that sort of thing.

Sure, no problem.
I believe the V-moda m80 is pretty popular in the fashion community, why don't you check it out?

http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Crossfade-On-Ear-Noise-Isolating-Headphone/dp/B005HSDLCO

True blood edition is cheaper as well.

One of the more respected audiophiles I have followed is this guy:http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/v-moda-crossfade-m-80-and-v-80-true-blood-headphones-page-2

He says: "I simply can't think of another headphone that does so much, so right. They look like a million bucks, they're built like a tank, the accessories are super tasty, the sound is among the best in class, and the ability to have custom graphics emblazoned on the shields puts the V-MODA Crossfade M-80/V-80 right over the top. I simply can't recommend them highly enough. I love these headphones.

Highly Recommended!"

That is a ringing endorsement if I ever heard one.

It's plasticky and a bit too big but if you are an audiophile it's definitely worth a look.

If you need closed back portables, get the ES7. ESW9/10 if you can afford the difference.

I've been using my Shure SRH 440s for a while now, sturdiest fuckers I've ever come across. I remember getting them at ~$80, but I'm not exactly sure.

The AKG's are shit for going out in public.
Their impedance is on the higher side so you need an amp to get decent volume.

If they changed the M50 up a little bit and marketed it better, it could easily become a bigger power house in the market.
