Mine arrived today!
Granted I'm at the bottom looking up as far as audiophilia goes, but they are so rich sounding. Full, warm, very clear, and they definitely benefit from amping - don't get it wrong it's not absolutely necessary, but I notice the bass end is more involved and it brings out the qualities of lower voices noticeably better. The sound at first, I thought, wasn't as clear as my AKGs, but then when I sampled the music I generally use to try new headphones I realized it wasn't a lack of clarity it was simply a richer (and equally smooth) bass that I wasn't used to. Hey, AKG isn't known for bass, you know? I could hear the Stradivarius weeping as it sang the notes on the Hero soundtrack. We'll see how they improve with some burn in. Yes, I believe in burning in.
Comfort wise they fit me fine; the position of the cups, the headband pressure, etc is great ... for me; I have a medium-large head. The cups, though, while certainly comfortable, do brush the earlobes on all sides. It's not uncomfortable, but if you're looking for big cirumaural phones you need the bigger pads. I haven't decided yet whether to get them or not; while they're more than comfortable, even for an hour or so of listening in my case, they are on the small end of over-ear.
The presentation, quality, and sound is really, really good - like Talenti 5-ingredient Vanilla Bean ice cream in my ears. ....in my humble under-experienced opinion that's in the process of improving.
@MezeTeam Keep up the good work my friends.
