Any thoughts about comfort, build quality? Any issues worth mentioning there? We all know they look gorgeous.

Once I financially recuperate from festive season spending, these would be my third woodies in collection.
As it looks now - build quality is good, but that is strictly visual evaluation. We will have much better of an idea in couple of months, especially if someone manages to break it any time soon (although ATs are fairly well known for being well built and not easily broken if treated decently).

Comfort is fine for 4-5 hours, assuming you don't get the right/left wrong (pads are directional) and your ears are not humongous. My ears actually end up inside the cups, sealed, pretty neat seeing how this thing is considered supra-aural. And if you use a portable headphone significantly longer than that daily, you should be considering custom IEMs...
