First of all, please don't flame anyone in this thread. That is not needed nor wanted. Go be biased somewhere else.

I just heard about these, and they seem interesting.

Does anyone own any/have any reviews?

We sell them where I work so I've had the chance to try them out a couple of times. I'm not a fan of Beats at all but I got to say that these actually sound good yet they are quite uncomfortable to wear. It's basically a mash-up of Solo's and Pro's but with a suprising nice sound considering they're Beats! As always with any Beats product they are well over-priced.

They are still overpriced? Damn. I had high hopes for those. In another thread, a guy said that they were reasonably priced. I guess I'll just have to listen to them myself and see if they appeal to me.

Well they're not as bad as the pros! I mean where I work they are £250 and I think it would be reasonable if it was under £200. Also I forgot to mention that they seem to have good build quality, except for the exposed wires which I don't like!

Do you know how much sound they leak? If it would leak more or less than AH-D1100?

I really like the Denons. I'm not too sure how much they leak but my guess would be that they leak a little more than the Denons as the D1100's are over-the-ears whereas the Mixr's are on-the-ears. Are they available where you live? Because I was told that they are only available in the UK for now.

Both headphones are available where I live. I can get the Mixr's from Best Buy, and the Denon's from Amazon.

Yea they probably just told us that so we can convince customers to buy them!

for the same price, i'm sure the denon ah-d2000 will blow these out of the water. even 96kbps mp3 would sound better with the denon than SACD out of the beats.

Don't know about sound quality but they look pretty great.

I agree. I think those are one of the best looking headphones ever.

Oh wow, 250 quid over there?  The MSRP is $250 over here...that's almost $400 over there.
