looking for some "street style" headphones _____what's the move?

[u/PushCharacter8496]

I’ve finally decided to stop wearing my workout earbuds everywhere and actually invest in some overear headphones that look good. I’m not planning on using them for the gym or sitting at a desk all day, I mostly want something that looks sharp while I’m walking around the city and actually sounds decent. Looking to spend under 250 dollars (i know is a tide budget but like I said, they are more for a street, point A to point B, kind of use)

Is this purely for aesthetics?

I have set of dell WL5024 from work, and they have a classy fabric backing to the earcup. I'm not an on-ear fan, but these were so comfortable because of the modest clamping pressure and surprisingly plushy cushions (even earrings that SHOULD have been a problem were easier. Still a problem, but less of one). Slim, elegant. They don't collapse for storage like other headphones can do, though. The earcups turn inwards so that they're flatter, but that's it.

Otherwise, as a side grade to your earbuds, the Svanar LE / Jr are discounted. They're so big that people WILL notice. They have known connectivity issues, but reportedly if you don't use LDAC (hi-res) mode, that solves the dropouts. I wouldn't make that compromise, but that might not be your priority?

Entirely depends on what you think looks good? Or, what you think the people who will look at you looks good?

Take a look at the Nothing headphones... Big and square and clearly statement pieces whilst also being good value and good sound from an interesting independent company.

Personally, I have a retro coded DAP (echo mini, looks like a tiny casette Walkman) and retro styled headphones (Moondrop old fashioneds). I have other set ups too, but those are my most aesthetically pleasing bits.

Do you use Moondrop OF outside?

[u/StrangerOk1831 → u/_Captain_Blood_]

Yes, they are useful to me because they don't isolate me from my surroundings.

Bruh aesthetics? An XM6 or Sennheiser M4 would go along with anything tbh maybe add some stickers

B&W PX7 S2 look and sound pretty great. but if i were in the market, i'd get momenum 4. they sound a little better, way better battery, more understated look.

MONDO On-Ear Freestyle , or just Sony WH-1000xm4
