These headphones are a pretty good value for the money.
Simple clean design, don't look over the top, or tacky.
The build quality is pretty nice with good materials. Plastic parts on the headphone cups have the "soft touch" feel. The pleather ear pads are really comfortable, and I'm glad they come with an extra set. I would've liked an additional velour set for the hot summer season though where heat could become a comfort issue. The headband is nicely padded for better comfort and uses metal for the extension area which should be more durable than plastic.
Comes with some nice accessories. 2 cables.. 1 short, 1 long. The cables seem to be of good quality. Highly flexible, yet very durable. The cable connectors look really nicely done as well. They're color coded to the correct jacks in the headphones for left and right. It's nice that they're detachable from the headphones. Also comes with 2 adapters. 1 large jack adapter, and 1 airplane jack adapter. Of course it's got an extra pair of pleather ear pads which are nice. Luckily I got in on the pre-order so it came with a simple carrying case with foam inserts as well (not spectacular, but better than no case).
Sound Quality is pretty good to me. I've been listening to a mix of acoustic, jazz, jazz/funk, rock, hip hop, you name it. These headphones really do seem like they get better with burn-in. During my first several hours I didn't really like how they sounded with rock. I left it running for several days and came back to a pleasant surprise. My rock sounds much better and clearer now. Shortly afterwards, my FiiO e10 arrived in the mail. Pairing these phones up with the FiiO e10 (I listened with bass boost off) sounds really nice. Every genre sounds even better than when I had this plugged straight into my macbook air.
Pairing these up with the FiiO E10 is a winning combo to me!
