Just listen to the beautiful music you like on your X1s and focus on that, don't be an audiofool

I'm on the cusp of buying these - I'm mostly using these to play games/sim with the odd movie or show to watch.
 
BUT
 
I'm worried about the open design.I want an open design so that I can hear my better half trying to get my attention (especially as I plan on getting an oculus rift...).  How loud is the sound leakage? Is it enough to annoy someone sitting 5-10 meters away at moderate volume?

Wearing these in combination with the oculus rift, you'll no longer have to worry about a better half.  You're free to enjoy the X1!

LOL yes well thats a good point
 
The Oculus Rift makes Geordi La Forge's visor look pretty tame

5-10 meters away at moderate volume - the other half will hear I'm afraid.

Indeed, those are definitely not headphones for in-bed listening!
 
Or just put sleeping pills in your wife's last drink!

Is it normal that drivers are bent about 15 degrees with respect to pads?

The X1 has angled drivers, so yeah - it's intentionally part of the design.

there is a gold box deal on today in amazon?

Just squeaked into the Amazon Gold Deal. 150 for these sounds pretty good. I already have a Q701 + 172HD. Should be a nice change until i get the mighty HE-400

 

[ajreynol]

Picked a pair up from Amazon on a whim because I have no open air cans.
 
I'm hoping they will give me a reason to take off my D7000's, but idk.  Are there any genres that we feel it will do better than those or my Doggie Pads?
