Anyone tried Altec Lansing headphones?

[BigD]

Just very curious about Altec Lansing's effort into headphones market!
Are they kinda like what bose is to their headphones?
I'm hoping someone at head-fi tried them before...also hoping that these new headphones live upto the household name of Lansing.

i got to try the YO302's, and they were pretty wretched, sound quality wise. they were pretty comfortable, though.

My workmate had some that he picked up from Singapore. They are very, very small when folded - the construction material is certainly very cheap feeling, but he assures me it is quite robust.

I didn't listen to them, but I have the impression that the form factor is the most compelling attribute.

the oyoyos are not very good and not very comfortable if you have sensitive ears. look good with a white ipod, though.

It doesn't sound good from what I'm hearing. Are they bright, dark, thin, cold, detailed, punchy, bloated,...or what???
