What are some affordable around-the-ear headphones?

What are some stylish, good, affordable headphones?

I'm looking for over-ear (my ears get sore with on-ear) headphones that are good for electro music, ie. good bass. I like street/urban style headphones. I know Sennheiser is reeeally good (maybe even the best) but I don't like how they look. I'd like something like this: Nixon Master Blaster http://www.nixonnow.com/headphones/the-master-blaster-H008.html And something that LOOKS like this (I don't want them because they are not over-ear): Urbanears Plattan http://www.urbanears.com/headphones/plattan Do you kinda get what look I'm going for? :D Any recommendations? Thanks in advance :)
Answer:

Cantilena is right, but it IS possible to get headphones that look good and sound good as well. Two that come immediately to mind are the Phiaton MS400 and the Bowers and Wilkins P5. I own the P5s, and while they're supra-aural, not circumaural, they're the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. And they're beautiful, both visually and sonically.

Please do NOT buy headphones because of the LOOKS because it is NEVER wise! Instead, look for sound quality and durability! Therefore, your options are Shure, Grado, AKG or Sennheiser. It is not wise to waste money to cheap rubbish that only look good but that break easily and have poor sound quality.
