Very portable Mimouille I like it..

No-one would rob you carrying a black match box, some fishing line and two clumps of grey clay either.

  Full cans are gonna be heavy walking around with man. You would probably want to take weight and comfort into consideration with your choices. 

yeah thats the reason I'm leaning towards the Fostex cans versus the LCD-XC's. The XC's are beautiful but at 640 or so grams that would be a bit heavy.

Picked up a used set of HD595's to have a decent-but-not-too-expensive set of open cans for use around the house. I need to be able to hear my kids, so my CIEMs are out of the question. Reterminated them to 4-pin mini-xlr and made adapters for 3.5mm TRS as well as Hirose. Properly amped, they sure sound a lot better that the price would indicate

They'll only see 1-2 hours of head time a week and they sound awesome, so I really have to fight the urge to upgrade to the HD650 like I did the last time I had these...

this thing is nice but without a 'charge - battery' switch (to stop charging the connected dev) is a no go for me
