Quality and/or price issues aside, that 3rd pic seems to show a brownish/copper colored set, which is not mentioned in the listings, but I would probably buy that color just to be different from all the 1,541, 479 other black & white headsets out there.... probably just a crappy render or very bad lighting.....

doesn't really matter since these are for across the pond only, but just sayin :D
