I'll be the voice of dissent and say that those look ugly to me. No question of the craftsmanship, but to my eyes they're too big, and the old school headband is too skinny.
So who's staring in AWE of Headphile DEAL 5?

Looks more elegant and refined than any Grado on the market. Standard Grado look is ugly...
Anyways, anyone beg the question - how do wooden cups of the shape affect the sound of the headphone?

Wow. I'm normally not really interested in grados. Every now and then I think hmm...I should get around to hearing one of the higher up ones. But these look gorgeous.

The only thing I don't like about the headphones is the bulging mesh, it looks like a microphone was stuck in there. Beautiful headphone otherwise. I'm sure the shape was intended for enhanced SQ.

That is one sexy headphone. i have been following the progress for a while. I had to send Larry a congratulatory email after I saw the completed project. They are simply stunning and as usual the craftsmanship appears exceptional.

Indeed, the mesh looks like a microphone head. But I kinda like that by itself...

It's gorgeous IMHO.
Unless you own a balanced DAC/amp, these probably won't make sense at the price. These cans will likely go to someone who has the right setup and can truly enjoy them.
This is a very lucky person, no doubt.
