A company by the name of Phiaton makes a sweet pair of headphones which have carbon fiber enclosures for the speakers:

- Studio grade 40 mm Electrodynamic Drivers
- Impedance: 32 Ohm
- Sensitivity: 98 dB
- Max input power: 1000 mW
- Weight: 5 oz / 140 g without cord (MS300) Weight: 6.5 oz / 185 g without cord (MS400)
The MS300 model is priced at $199, while the MS400 is $249. Both can be ordered directly through Phiaton’s website.
ZDNet reviewed the headphones, and this was their bottom line:
The Phiaton MS 400 Moderna Series headphones are cool to look at and comfy to wear; the balanced audio quality make them a good choice for listeners with a diverse taste in music.
