It just came in the mail from AudioCubes (very quick service!)!
First impressions:
Build quality is impeccable. These definitely feel like quality cans, from the smoove wood to the beautiful leather to the cool cord. The drivers just look huge!
Sound is... forward. It's not as poor initially as some people make out. The upper-midrange is definitly prominent. The highs are sometimes airy, sometimes screechy. Bass is actually kinda nice--not punchy, but definitely there. They kind of remind me of an unrefined Grado RS-1 (but with a wider soundstage).
Well, I'll check in more as my cans break in, but I'm really really impressed even at first listen. It was definitely worth selling my Senn 580s for this!
