Modeled this in about 28 min. as a challenge between myself and two other anim8or users at the anim8or.org site.
It looks like I'll be getting second place though 
Tell me what you think!

28 minutes ?!!  it'd take me hours and hours to do that!  deeply impressed.

btw what's that rendered with?

Thanks colclough,
The image was rendered in anim8or of course!
It was done with one local light and two infinite lights, all casting monte carlo shadows.

It looks great!

$imon's was awesome also.

By the way, how exactly did you model the headphones? What technique did you use?

[hihosilver]

Thanks

I started with each earpiece.  To do that, I used the "sphereinder" plugin which basically makes a pill shape.  I then cut deleted all the vertices except one ring going flat around it.  I filled that figure, and used the shell tool then basically only used extrude and resize a lot.  After that I put in the little hole manually by detaching the face of the headphone, copying that object, then undoing the detachment.  I then pasted the object, resized it and rotated it, then joined the solids and manually used the add-edge tool to attach the two objects (the bridge command didn't work properly.)  To do the headband I basically used the same method except with a sphere, and deleted some points, then shelled.  Then I did some extrusions.

Hope that's what you were looking for

Yeah thanks!

You make it sound so easy, which it probably is (a bit), it's just that you can think of how to do it, which I can't. I tried to make some headphones similar to yours earlier and they came out as total crap. Thanks for explaining how you modeled it, it has spawned a few ideas from me...

28 minutes?I haven't used anim8or in a bit as fifty percent of users know as im in blender but awesome!That's a amazing model!See before i came into 3d i thought al you did was take a little brush and paint up a model which i lately realised 3dbrush does though i dunno where to buy it:D

[hihosilver]

No problem kingku   It does take some time to learn different methods, though sometimes you need to improvise like here.

Thanks anim8orblenderman!  I had no idea what I was getting into with 3d, I just knew I'd love it.

As a side note, the render wasn't showing up for me, so I re-uploaded it.  So if there wasn't a fully shadowed render before, it's up now

[GeniusAtWork]

Well done they look great and you only took 28 minutes!!!!! 

[hihosilver]

Since the ART renderer came out, I thought I'd give it a test on an actual full model.
I don't fully like how this came out, I'm going to render this again, as I want the scene a bit brighter and all.  Still, I feel this renderer improves anim8or a TON.
Tell me what you think 

[SirBonovox]

Great model and render!  The way you reinforced the hard edges looks great!

[lynn22]

I prefer the first render (gray) it's so life like it could be a photo of the real thing.
Wonderful.

[hihosilver]

Thanks SirBonovox
Thanks lynn22, I like the shadows best in the first one.  For some reason with the ART renderer I can't really reproduce the shadows as in that one.  I need to learn to use the new shadow attributes, and get rid of the intense grain.
Here's two more render, tell me what you think!

[lynn22]

I don't know, maybe it's your use of color in the new pics but I still like the first one (gray) best
