While I was wearing the M500 throughout the day today, I found myself with moments of excitement over how nice these sounded simply through my phone, followed by complaints of sore ears moments later. Now I've been listening to the P7 for an extended time and I have no qualms on the comfort, but I keep telling myself I cannot justify spending $400 on something with this sound quality when I paid about half as much ($225) for the M500. Really still on the fence for both. Honestly, I'm leaning towards returning both pairs, and to wait for KEF to release around-the-ear headphones. We'll see whether burn in really helps the P7. Honestly though, even if the P7 had the exact sound quality as the M500, I still couldn't justify paying more than $300 for them. I think the HD598 at $199 beats both headphones in both sound and comfort. I guess I still can't wrap my head around the idea of paying for something other than sound quality when buying headphones.
