Headphones

Oh boy, as a collector there are quite a few. Most are vintage or out of production though.

Also depending on price range too cause you got the Precise Ergo AMT, based on the absolutely whacky Jecklin Float (the whole jeckline float design is insane with the PMB floats being the best looking) uses an air motion transformer driver but costs around 800 euros if I remember correctly?

Then there's the TakeT headphones, also AMT with a design that can best be described as mad.

For something cheaper, try find a JVC HA-SW01, has a unique wood cone driver and an absolutely amazing construction, or the audio-technica ath-dsr series which actually uses a digital signal to the transducers. There's also the variety of limited editions, audio-technica is famous for it.

The more weirder tech like RAAL and the Sineaptic, both of which are ribbons, or just any electrostatic for that matter.

Of course there's the boutique and DIY headphones, ZMF, Darth Beyers, a pair of Darth Boobies will surely stand out.

Honestly the list is endless. There's unique and interesting stuff from all eras.

How about Sony MDR-XB700? It has a ridiculously large earpads, and supposedly having a really deep bass as well.

Hifiman HE-R9 definitely looks interesting or Sony MDR R10 Beyer DT150 I would argue that Grados still considered unique AKG K 1000 Dysone Zone Human headphones

The Audio Technica ATH-R70X are very unique looking for sure, with their winged headband, notched top band, and hexagonal cut grilles.

Yamaha YH-5000SE looks super cool. As already mentioned Raal, HEDD phone, ZMFs but all of these are expensive.

Ones I wanna own for looks is Fostex T60RP, and Grado RS1x.

AKG K340, which use both Electret and Dynamic drivers

AKG K1000 and its spiritual successors like the MySphere

Skullcandy Aviator, looks cool as hell. Discontinued tho.

ATH AD2000 the OG is one hell of a weird addiction. They bend the shit outta your sound taste

The Oriolus Isabellae. I wanted to like these but their lack of detail and resolution didn't justify the cost, even though the midrange is great.

Audioquest Nighthawk : Very comfortable, good looking, with a weird mid bass bump and an uneven treble response, however not too bad to listen

The right version of theSennheiser HD580 Precision. It comes with plastic cups, but the pattern is cool and some versions sounds way more pleasant than both the hd600 and hd650

Gotta be the jecklin floats. I'm a big fan of the 80's ish high end headphone design though so stuff like the B&O U70 I think is really cool.

Stax sigma pros

DCA AEON Noire. Crazy earcup shape, crazy headband design, carbon fiber plate in the earcup. It definitely stands out.

Buy a collection of ZMF Headphones with stabilized wood. Job done!

Sony MDR-F1, PFR-V1, Grado Bushmill, BW P9, iSine IEMs, Stax SR002, Aurorus Borealis.

Verum 1 is what I think is pretty amazing. Basically handmade by a guy in a war zone and the reviews say they are amazing. I guess the lead guy has made some pretty controversial comments in the past. Currently hand making anything in an Eastern Ukrainian city has got to be hard.

Surprised there aren't any mentions of Meze yet. The 109 pro both looks and sounds great

DCA Stealth and Expanse. New but quite unique.

When I think of a very unique headphone, my first thought goes to the STAX SR-Sigma.

They extend out more than 2 inches from the sides of your head, and the drivers fire backward (from in front of the ear). They also sound crazy. Some of the widest soundstage I've heard, but still incredibly detailed because estat.

If you're looking for measurements, these aren't what you want, but holy hell are they fun to play around with, and they're quite the conversation starter.

I think the focal range all look pretty aesthetic

Meze Advar aren't headphones but they are unique looking. Svanar wireless are very unique looking as well.

Basically all audiophile headphones are uninque looking hahaha

Final Piano Forte - a range of very odd IEMs which aren't designed to seal with the ears and they're made of metal. Putting them in feels like sitting on a lav with no seat, but they do very well with acoustic stuff.
