"(LEAVE MY WHACK COWLICK ALONE)"
Actually I thought the cat had been licking it.
Nice review though.
BTW, what's the theory behind this "loose loop" business?

I just got sold on your review!
I live in Japan, so I walked down the street in my town to the local Midori denki (think Best Buy but with more rice cookers and massage chairs). These were the only high end phones sold there. I was a bit worried about their return policy when I bought them. In most electronic stores here they don't take returns on opened items unless there is something broken to begin with. I talked the manager into letting my try the fit and a few songs from my Ipod. 20,000 yen later I walked out the door.
I'm listening to them now (lst day). So far I think vocals/dialogue could be fuller, but the bass and sound clarity are very impressive to my untrained year.

when a cord dangles, rubs against desk, your clothes it could/would create small vibrations and add a noise to your headphones called microphonics. Well the cord on these is wrapped in fabric and make alot of microphonics. by adding this loop it creates a dampener(?) just before the cord hits the cup and stop the vibrations. it does most of it but everynow and then a particularly bad rub can add a little noise.
