Phiaton brings the visual delight to audio gear

Phiaton -- not to be confused with Volkswagen's futile attempt to break into the luxury sedan market -- is setting out to grab dollars from audio geeks that have a thing for style. The firm is actually part of Cresyn, and is attempting to put its name on the map by introducing four new exotic looking headphones, a pair of oddly-designed earbuds and a vivid music docking station. Regrettably, there are no prices to share on any of the aforementioned gear, but if you've ever secretly craved cans wrapped in faux alligator skin, this company is sure to impress.

Sorry, I don't understand how the headphones in the picture for this post look any good :S

I tried on their MS400 series headphones while at CES and it was probably one of the best headphones I've ever heard. incredible bass, super comfortable, good padding. I'm thinking of picking up a set...

The Korean (design) Wave just keeps rolling in.

looks nice, but they need to include some specs on their product page. looks alone arent enough to get their target market to buy them.. or even consider them. altho those m300's would look pretty good on me at gigs ;)
