I am still warming up to them. They sound a bit different compared to the demo set - a lot bassier and somewhat warmer with the highs somewhat pushed back. I noticed that the small high drivers are pushed really to the back of the shell, quite far from the sound bore. I don't know if that is the reason. 

The bass detail and texturing, along with overall imaging and sense of space is leaps and bounds ahead of my GR07 CE and Dunu DN1K. Quite enjoying it so far despite the highs being a bit subdued for my preference.

Like the Legend R, you probably need to give it some time to open up. :) happy listening!

New stack, old stack... both in Pelican 1020 cases. Absolutely perfect fit for both, and practically bombproof.
Case #1: Fiio X3 and E12A, with L16 interconnect wrapped in a glasses cloth.
Case #2: iPod Mini, Meier Porta Corda III with L9 LOD connected, and spare 9V battery.
Ready for battle...

Just bought a Fiio E11k and some Sony MDR-ZX300s. I've had the iPhone sitting around for a while. Good setup for what I want. Replaced my Bose AE after the headband broke on a bus ride (I coach basketball). Didn't feel like spending over $150 for just headphones. I've always liked the look of the Sony's as well. Might upgrade to some MDR-V6s some day soon to use at home.
 
Can't upload pictures yet because of newbie status.

Nothing too special compared to the beautiful rigs in this thread: Blackberry 9981 > Linum BaX > Noble 4. Got the Nobles on Friday and couldn't be happier.
 
Thinking about adding a small amp to furhter enhance the performance. I'm still undecided whether i want a DAP or not. It might be too much to carry around, especially in the summer.
