Well my sis tried my Audio Technicas, and she loved them. She wanted to get into better over the ear headphones, but she cares about how they look...because she's a girl lulz. She really likes the brushed metal/anodized look like her laptop. Maybe nothing too plastic looking. I recommended the AKG K550, but she's only willing to spend about $100-150ish.

Can you guys recommend anything like that?

There's no shortage of Beats and Skullcandy cans that are full brushed aluminum, lmao. Guess all that marketing research really paid off, they know their audience.

No family of mine shall own Beats headphones. I wanna facepalm everytime I see one.
I recommended the VMODA Crossfade LP, but I think those are too extreme or rugged looking. I think she's looking for some classy looking stuff.

You could help her with your money to buy the K550

Just kidding

I love my K550, and I would recomend for anyone, but Vmoda's could be a nice alternative. Have you seen the ATs aniversary edition?

Could be a solution for your problems, something like the M50 LE

What about a pair of Alessandro MS1's with a cup mod? Isn't too difficult to find someone to do it for you, or the gear to do the mod yourself. Should be a fairly cost effective venture, and the MS1's are SR125's from what I've gathered with mine.
