Pros: Nice sound, sound good out of everything!, Good beginners headphone, Comfort, Design, very easy to eq
Cons: Audiojack seems fragile, Voices are too upfront/close by/
I'm slowly going to add more and more to the review! The reason I make this short review is that the few info it has might be meaningfull to someone!
Still burning in, somehow and without noticing it first the voices became very much in your face. Still checking whether gear makes a difference. They also started to sound less closed later on.
 
 
 
Gear:
Probably not a good match with e10.
 
Outdoor usage:
 
These are NOT an outdoor headphone. I'm probably still going to use it as one in the summer. 
A) These are open (Duh)
B) The headband elastic things make a little bit of noise when walking.
C) If it's windy the wind makes a load sound because of the grill on the sides. This is were it gets impossible to use.
D) even if you walk too fast you'll hear the wind. Riding a bike or anything else can't be done either.
 
They are still usable for a nice stroll in the sun! (god I hope that isn't far from now, damn cold!) Easy to drive so no need for huge amps. Sounds surprisingly good out of my phone, even without my e5. short cables are relatively cheap. You can get a v-moda cable for around $12.

May I ask why you think these wouldn't be a good match for the E10?

"Voices are too upfront/close by", "voices became very much in your face" - definitely get better DAC and/or amp. If I understood correctly then You used FiiO E10? Anyway, with iBasso DX50 & Aune T1 (both modified) the soundstage is huge and voices are definitely not "in your face" but rather outside of headstage (depends on recording and mastering too of course). That`s what I really like about X1 - huge soundstage, great separation and imaging with everything "outside of head", almost like listening live/speakers.

Pros: Soundstage/seperation!!, Covers all music styles, Great value.
Cons: Only minor ones, see review.
I will post a longer review when I have time but I just wanted to give some attention to these great headphones.
 
I really love them, these headphones have a HUGE enjoying factor. These are my first headphones and I really fell in love with music and headphones. I have heard ALOT of other headphones but there were very few that had the enjoyment factor of these. Cross off all the closed cans (lack of soundstage) and bright cans and there are very few headphones left.
 
-They sound like the hd650. Not quality like ofcourse, but if you like the hd650 you will like these. 
-They are easy to drive. They sound good out of a high end motherboard (sabertooth 990fx) but a cheaper motherboard or laptop won't work. (confirmed with one the newest apple laptops)
- If you like a warm sound and love soundstage these are the ultimate beginner headphones. The FiiO E10 is a great pair!
