First Impressions:
This is End-Game for me :atsmile: They trump all other over-ear cans that I've owned by a significant margin (see my profile). It's like Focal has taken the best features from my favorite over-ears (HD650, R70x, X2, PM-2), combined and refined them. Not super wide but wide enough for me. Bass is pretty much just where I like it - plenty detailed, tight, and fast enough for my tastes. Mids are very present and detailed. I personally like the treble a lot, no drama here for me. I do not find them dark at all. Slightly warm and musical but not dark IMO. I find them to be a bit on the "fun" side like the Fidelio X2, except a 100 times more refined. I mean fun in the best way possible so don't kill me. Slightly laid back but dynamic and engaging. Based on the signature, I think I can listen to these for countless hours without fatigue. Forgive me if this sounds like incoherent rambling but I'm just bobbing my head to the music

Well worth the asking price based on my personal experience. I purchased these based on Tyll's review! He's 3 for 3 with me. These are a definite hit! Once I get my lineup under control, these will sit nicely perched at the top of the pecking order.
