To me... they all felt nice and looked nice too...
Odd. None of those feel nice to me, except maybe the Monitor 10, which still has pretty loose joints.

The AKG Q701 and HD800 felt very solid to me (ignoring the HD800's shitpaint).

I'm pretty fond of the wooden Denons. They look pretty sleek, though the cable can be annoying.

Aedle VK-1.  Built like a 1970s Volvo.  My great-grandkids will use them.

I'll never forget my first time with the Fostex TH-900. The smooth cups, the red color.

The wood Denons and Fostex TH900 are/were nice.

LCD XC cups are nice.

Oppos are nice too.

Orpheus is pretty sweet overall.

BHSE is well put together.

I have to say for the money, Fiio tends to do a nice packaging job.

Shout out to Furutech, Fit Ear and FAD.  Konichiwa bitches!
