Most of the headphones I see at Headphone News are variations on the same basic theme (the current themes being noise-reduction and Bluetooth) but Sleek Audio have introduced something truly different. The Sleek Audio SA6 is a modular design that will allow you to mix and match components to create the sound you want.
The SA6 comes with 3 interchangeable Bass Ports and 3 Treble Tips that you can switch out to match the music you are listening to. If it works as billed, this would allow you to increase the bass for your favorite dance tunes and then whack up the highs for rock music.
In addition, the cables are also modular allowing you to choose your cable length. There are even plans for a Bluetooth attachment in the future. Assuming the implementation is as good as the concept, these headphones could be an audiophiles dream.
The SA6 will be available to preorder from March with the shipping date set for the second quarter of 2007. Early orderers will get them for $230 while those who wait for release can expect to pay $20 more.

Or you could just use the equalizer in your player, which probably offers more than nine possibilities and almost certainly doesn’t have any small parts to lose.
