Arguably, once in life, one of the great knowns for all Alienware's products (well, back-in-the-day at least) were its unrivaled design aesthetics, built quality, ect.
These cans just look awful, cheap and bulky (with an expose audio wire, on each side, just waiting for something to go wrong... WOW). It looks like something that we can pick up at a fuel station or a budget / bargain store or street vendor / peddler, and definitely not something "premium".
When will these OEMs finally get it?! Today, many audio listeners desires a one-stop-shop for ALL their audio experiences. e.g. user BATTERY REPLACEMENT, phone calls, gaming, cinema / TV Shows, ALL HiRez codec supported (especially HiRez WIRELESSLY in 2024 😏), ect.
Audio headphones / sets, like it or not, are also a FASHION thing today. It doesn't need all the so-called bling-bling but it does need to look mature, rugged for the outdoors, and look nice to look at by the user and others. But these cans just look deformed in a very ill way.
