I found a pair of these on Craigslist and took a chance that I wasn't going to get ripped off; I got everything I was supposed to except for the outer sleeve of the box, so I can't complain too much.
I'd post some pics, but I guess I'm so new here that I don't have the proper permissions. If someone had a way of fixing that or wants me to email them the pics so they can post them for me, that'd be pretty cool. I got the white Miami bag, the extra ear pad covers for Miami/2014 /Armin VB. The extra screw in adapter for larger outputs, the R/L cup covers, the 93mm cushions (got my eyes out for the 80mm so they're a little less bulky when I'm not at home with them). Oh and the cable that comes with these is quite nice, screws into either earpiece, is long enough that it's sometimes overbearing, but I love that the coil is far from the cups (I can stuff it into my pocket when I'm listening to a portable device around the house or walking through town).
I don't think I've ever experienced music before wearing these. To use some of the vocabulary that I've picked up from Head-fi: they're not too bass heavy, but it will give a bit of punch with the bass bumped up, the sound stage is very well defined, giving ample access to pay attention to a variety of sounds going on all at once ( I mostly listen to EDM, but I also listen to some Alternative Rock, a small amount of pop (very small), some female vocalists, and some classical/remixed(edm) classical (Bond for ex). The vocals are quite clear even at higher volumes while the mids are present and bass comes and goes without being overbearing, I can't quite explain it, but I'll do my best as follows... There's a spacious feeling about listening to these cans, it's like I'm in a big room and each part of the track is clearly played, but from different parts of the room, so I can focus on each part, or just lean back and listen to it all at once. All the while, if someone's talking to me, even with these at about 60% volume from an ipod, I need to be tapped on the shoulder or w/e for someone to get my attention.
Hope my amateur review has helped a little and hypes these up for those of you still waiting on a pair!
All that said, they blow any other headphones that I've ever casually owned out of the water. My previously most expensive pair, however, was only the 100$ Zinkens by Urbanears and some lower-end on ear phones I picked up for ~50 from Radio Shack when I was a teenager.

Also huge plus is the choice of pads & easy to swap/take off. It's also one of the best looking headphones IMO because they look so "badass" somehow and it also has to be among the most durable ones. V-Moda in its all glory but this is sturdier without cheap easily breaking plastic wings. Just hope the sound matches the looks, I can at least see DJs raving about these.
