At first I thought these looked ugly..and honestly i think they still looks a bit odd, but after looking on the Etymotic Webpage and there is a shot of a guy wearing them, and they don't look too bad. The wires connecting them doesn't seem that bad either. I have a pair of Ety ER4P's and I love them, and I did not buy them for their looks, in fact they look a bit odd too. I bought them for their superior sound quality, which they have. And after studying the specs on the webpage about them, they look to hold up pretty well to the Ety4P's which is awesome. As soons as I save some scratch I will be buying these no doubt. And as for the wire getting in the way, i kind of like the idea of them being linked to each other so they dont get misplaced. I coudl do without the controls on the headset though. Since you are wire free it will take nothing to take your ipod out and use its controls. My only concern is someone just snatching em off your head and running...but maybe that is the point of the "ugliness" who in their right mind would think to steal such odd looking things...and since they arent attached to anything (ipod) the burglar might just think it is some headset for a phone. Just my thoughts...lates
