I love vinyl covers and inserts to enjoy the artwork. Mostly, I love listening to music on vinyl, but I don't have a deck and a hi-fi anymore to enjoy with. Instead, I am going to spend ¥20,000 on headphones before the new release.

I tested a lot of headphones and was most impressed with the Dr. Dre headphones.

They really sounded great. The price is steep but I compared them with a dozen others from ¥10,000 to ¥24,000 and they were the best.

test subject was this track (sorry!):

Damn, no new clothes for months!
please do not buy beats. pleasepleaseplease with a cherry on top. you say they're nice when honestly you pay so much more for the name and the over-pumped bass.

i'd invest in a good pair of senheisers/audio-technicas
i've had my ATH-M50s for almost 2 years and i love them to death, got them modded for a short cable for a small price and they were even better.
I tried both Seinheisers and Audio-Technicas that were about ¥15,000 (about ¥5,000 cheaper), the mids were nice, but this model just seemed have more depth.

I like both the red and white. I'm not buying for the brand name, I was really impressed with the sound. The bass kick was just perfect and sounded really clean. the mids were really nice, too. It's a lot of money and I did try a level up from them which I thought was less impressive!
well if that's the sound you're going for i guess go for it but if you enjoy the bass more might i suggest the sony extra bass line? they look kind of silly but i've tried them and as far as bass goes they can't be beat
