The P7 looks absolutely gorgeous if i could have a few other "top tier" closed cans like my M-100 it'd be the P7 and the HP 50.
Quite tempted to sell my HD25s and buy these and the M100s
devil on your shoulder says: do it >
Painful skull clamp inflicted by the HD25.
More review please!
And for those who have it. Doesn't it look kind of funny on the head, with its squarish kind of headband?
I am perplexed by their headband design - considering they apparently spent many many hours in the laboratory coming up with the Room Feel tuning, you would think they could at least have put in a little effort into maximizing comfort. I mean if it is meant to emulate the experience of listening to music on speakers, then having an uncomfortable design takes away from that experience - unless you are in the habit of wearing uncomfortable hats, fashion accessories, or other headgear while listening to your stereo...
1. The headband seems designed to guarantee an uncomfortable pressure spot on the top of your head.
2. More than one owner has reported that the ear pads aren't deep enough and so the grill is uncomfortable on their ears.
Any new owners also experienced the above?

Not that I need any more headphones... still an in-depth comparison of the M-100 or the DT1350 as a reference point, the HP50 and the P7 would be nice.
@Craigster: Interesting that you consider the P7 brighter than the HP50... what I read about them in the P7 thread sounds to me like a not very bright can. On the other hand I've heard neither the HP50 nor the P7 so far... but that would make the HP50 unlikely to match my taste I guess.

It sounds like you have more of an issue with aesthetics. The HP50 is one of the most comfortable headphones I have worn.

But big comfort issue - the earpads are too shallow so my ears are pressed against the drivers and the headband hurts the top of my head.
