What do you guys think? With its 40mm titanium drivers, will it be a replacement for my beloved Ultrasone 750, but with better comfort?

I have the Munitio Billets for a while now and they are very bassy so I have no doubt this new headphone will be bassy as well.
They look nice but Munitio's product has always been over priced imo.

They seem to be in preorder right now. Seems interesting indeed.

The gold rings look tacky but otherwise they are rather nice-looking. I'd be interested to hear some first-hand impressions on how they sound.

 
Yeah... their "After Earth" edition looks a bit better...

I tried the headphones on yesterday at an airport. It was a brief five minutes with edm music so I can't say much about it. I felt that the earcups rubbed against my ears more than I liked and it felt a little uncomfortable when I put them on. The clamping pressure was good for isolation though in the crowded area that I was in. The headphones felt very durable in my hands. 
There was definitely a big bass in these although it doesn't block the mids and the highs. The mids and highs were very clear on these though to me they seemed a little recessed. Again, I only listened to one genre in five minutes so I can't so too much about the sound quality.

one review anyhow, usually they said they do a 20 hour break-in on stuff ( saw in a different review there ) but if these are titanium who knows might need some more pounding in ... not gonna get into that here :)  Nice construction.

Hello all! I just scored a NIB limited edition Munitio Pro 40 'After Earth Edition' #002 of 125 for $84.00! They previously sold for $400.00+ a few years ago, such is the world of audio gear. I just have to say that it has a really wide soundstage and a phenomenal sub-bass. I want to listen to them some more with different sources/audio rigs to get a better handle of its ability to display detail retrieval, acoustic timbre, and instrument separation.
