Designed for DJs, the Nixon RPM Headphones ($200) blend hefty electronics with simple, oversized-looking aesthetics that wouldn't look out of place in a cartoon — and we mean that in a good way. Highlights include custom 40mm drivers, articulating joints, gel-filled ear cushions, an interlocking coiled cable, and an additional iPhone-compatible cable with remote and mic for those times when you have to listen to something other than music. I love headphones but ca't afford any of them.-AL
These are for those who wear headphones in more extreme environments than in a lounger next to their hi-fi, durability often trumps sound quality. These Philips O'Neill Stretch Headphones ($70) aim to offer both, featuring an impact- and crack-resistant stretchy headband, tangle-free cabling that separates from the headphones to prevent breakage, soft ear cushions for all-day comfort, and dynamic 40mm drivers for great sound. I can see myself with some.
