I will try to keep it short... I guess...   Tracks I tested on these were 320 vbit mp3s and flac, random genres with some of my favorites in Electronic, Dance Pop, Rock, Alternative and Enka (yes I'm weird). Source units - Sony Xperia, Iphone 5S, Fiio E07k as amp and dac/amp.   Style and Comfort - It's a major win in this department no questions there. Looks good feels really good unlike those super clamps of death.   Build Quality - Although it looks fragile, the unit is acutally very sturdy/robbust. As for the pleather parts of the unit...

Using WASAPI, ASIO and onboard stock drivers yielded the exact same result. Same sound quality and same sound coloration. Unless you are suffering from serious EMI and static noise then these dont really offer any improvement at all.   Just control the volume/output of the desktop or laptop to not damage the headphone drivers.
