Yes, you can see the headphone out of the corner, but I can almost see all my cans a bit! The drivers are angled. Try not to let the slight vision of the cans discourage you, you will be sacrificing good sound qualty, over a minor discomfort!

Also, they are one of the most comfortable cans, I ever put on!

To tell you the truth I've never noticed it out of the corner of my eyes. As cheechoz has mentioned they are angled and so comfortable I don't notice them being there. Yes, they also sound awesome.

Just tried, nope can't see them. I haven't got bug eyes however.

One thing thats recently impressed me is that its single cabled, so there is another lead going through the headband to the right earpad. However once its goes into the left earpad there is no evidence of another lead anywhere.

It obviously goes through one of the tubes but the junction where the 'wings' screw on and the fork(which seems too small) looks free. I only believe theres a cable going because sound comes out both sides!

Took some pictures:

Anyway, nice bling bling on your wrist in the second picture...


And before I forget, do you guys take that transparent plastic off the LEFT and RIGHT indicators on the side of the headphones?

Oh yes, transformed them from looking cheap and tacky to giving them a solid metallic look. I originally was trying to take them off.
