500+ Head-Fier
Pros: Excellent allrounder with no glaring weakness
Cons: Wish the cable was detachable
Just a overview of my observations:
 
Absolutely my favorite headphone so far:
 
Strengths:
Eu-phonic headphone - music is so enjoyable - beautiful is the word that often comes to mind
Great quality and quantity of bass
Very nice extended treble - no sibilance problems
Enjoyable mids I have enjoyed the overall presentation so far
Nice sound stage - for a closed headphone
Beautiful build - design
high quality cable
Price I paid in Australian dollars above for the incredible workmanship that went into making this headphone
Very scalable - sounds great amazingly from a 200.00 sound card
 
Weaknesses
Mids - can seem a little recessed on some amps and with some sources
No detachable cable
Sound Isolation is not very good for closed headphone my Edition 8 is far better.
Some headfiers have reported build quality issues with the screws securing the headband
Some people are paying 800.00 more than what I paid - seems less value at that price

You will hear much much better sound from any external DAC

Hi huberd can you elaborate what you mean? As you can apply that statement to just about any headphone that has a dedicated DAC & a dedicated headphone amplifier.

I used to have a internal PCI sound card because I thought it would be better than a USB DAC. I was completely blown away how much better a USB external sound card can sound. I have several freinds who experianced the same.
