I got the pair 6 months ago and I am loving it. It's my portable pair and even though it doesn't fold you hang them around the neck (only good thing about the small ear cups)
Design & Aesthetics:
Build quality is top-notch. They feel sturdy on head and I thew them in my backpack several times.
I would like to label them modern with a subtle Retro touch. Looks great on head. Isn't bulky at all. The cable is also thin and won't cause discomfort. The bundled case is hardshell type covered with suede type material.
Comfort: When I got them I didn't find them comfortable for long listening sessions. The ear cups weren't big enough to be truly called over ears. However after using for couple of weeks the clamping force reduced (I did use force to reduce strain on the headband - Steel bands rock) and the leather pads helped a lot. Now I can use them for long hours - 4+ hours comfortably.
p.s I do wear glasses.
Usage: They are easy to drive and hence I use them without amp. I tried with FIIO E07K DAC/AMP but wasn't worth to carry around additional bulk for a tad increase in performance.
Summary: I am not going to talk too much over the sound quality as there are quite a few reviews with detailed analysis on same. I would recommend these pair of headphones to anyone who would want a stylish, portable, all-rounder headphones and with a budget of $200-$220
