    just wondering what people consider to be the most fashionable headphones or which look the best, i think probably beats pro by dr dre but at 400 they don't come cheap anyone know other more cost friendly options?

    Choosing your headphones on 'fashion' is a bad idea IMHO, but I quite like the skull candy in-ear models. They have a nice metal finish, and come in a few different colours, plus the sound is pretty decent for headphones you can get around the €20 mark.

    yeah you're right, quality would be more important to me on like a 3:1 ratio but seeing as this is the fashion appearance forum, i thought i'd ask people's opinions on what ones happen to look nice too

    Monster Beats great marketing but questionable products and way overpriced. Much better choices out there for a fraction of the price. Wouldn't be bothered on looks myself but if its important to you audiocubes sell some great looking and sounding products

    Can't go wrong with Sennhesier HD25. Excellent sound quality and well priced. Not as slick as the Dre ones, but they still look cool IMO. Available on Amazon.

    I have to say I agree with Zeogh that sound should be the main priority but these Panasonics look fantastic:

    Just don't buy them on eBay as it's flooded with fakes.

    I'd say Sennhesier .

    Those panasonic look like construction workers ear protectors.

    If you're after a cheap pair of headphones that look good and have decent sound quality keep an eye out in TK Maxx. I got a fairly decent pair there last year and they usually have nice ones when I'm in there.

    You're fighting a losing battle here OP, everyone looks like a tosser if they wear headphones in public. Just buy what sounds good and forget about what you look like.
