For those of us who could never imagine leaving the house without iPod in hand, our most important fashion accessory is undoubtedly the headphones. No one can see the cool new Kanye track you just downloaded, but everyone can see those tinny, straight-out-of-the-box white ear buds or head-engorging black earmuffs.

With both function and aesthetic in mind, Swedish street fashion company WESC has given us headphones that Mr. West would approve of. The Alp Horn Headphones are retro-styled in black and white with comfortable square, red earpieces, and wouldn't look out of place in a music video. Each ear sports a cool sliding volume control so you won't have to fumble for your iPod dial ever again. The technical specs are up to snuff, ensuring that you'll hear every deep snare drum and crisp hand clap.

Our only worry is that these may outshine the rest of our outfit.

$129 (U.S.), available at turntablelab.com.
