I hadn't seen these before this article, and while I agree that they aren't super stylish, I don't think any headphones are stylish. They're always something in or on your ear and often with a lame cord hanging from it. And they all look as dumb as each other.
So I don't really see the point of ranting about these ones.
The author even points out that there's a point for their shape and size, so it's not some dumb design decision. Form was guided by function. (And I'm betting they stay in better by being longer like that, and not just centering over the ear, but that's a guess.)
- Bartweiss 10y agoI got the strong feeling that the the headphone complaint here was just a topical tie-in, or at best a final straw provoking the article. It's not a piece that's asking for functional products (obviously: who wants antennas back?), so it seems like a larger indictment of the aesthetic sense regardless of how specific headphones look.
