The W20 comes with 3 sets of replaceable face-plates too, so she can change the color from black ,red, and blue depending on her mood.

Their lightweight, stainless steel, low profile design, makes them perfect for the woman who is easy going yet stylish. Their small ear-cups are great for women who wear big earrings, and or glasses.

 

For the woman who loves herself a quality Over-Ear model
We recommend the B&O H6
While most women tends to go for on-ear models, the H6 is in a class of it’s own. Made of quality leather with a strong durable frame, who wouldn’t love these headphones.
