I bought the DS DAC Edition, after getting the Korg DAC for a song on eBay Canada and noticing the headphones from the same seller. Can't compare to other headphones, as these are my first since I had Stax electrostatics about 30 years ago. I've had them for several months, now. Playing hi-rez files including DSD through the Korg DS DAC 100m, they sound terrific. Streaming CD-quality music from Tidal over my cell-phone, they sound terrific. They are easy to drive and my first-gen Galaxy Nexus phone has no trouble with them. Then I bought six more, the last ones the eBay seller had. Gave one to my son (also an "audiophile" like me), one to my nephew, kept one for spare, and sold the other three. Two of these went to buyers in the pro audio industry that use them on the job, and they wanted their own for at home.
I prefer NOT to spend money on looks, so I appreciate the plain-jane look of these. I feel that I have paid for performance, not cosmetics. Construction is robust enough that I do not fear that they will break or wear out prematurely.
Seems the negative comments here are from people that have not actually listened to them. Are their comments really worth the time it takes to read them? IMHO, no.
