  I usually avoid on-ears due to comfort.  Anyone know how comfortable these are?

 
 
While they won't be as comfortable as something like the HD700 which disappears on your head, for an on-ear I personally felt they were pretty comfortable.  In contrast, the Martin Logan Mikros 90 and the Grado Sr80i with standard pads both were much less comfortable, both causing pain within minutes.  Luckily for the SR80i switching to Senn HD414 pads helped a ton, the Mikros 90 was sold off due to being a lost cause.

Thanks.  Ordered a "Like New" set for $42.  Didn't realize this at first, but these are on Inner Fidility's Wall of Fame.  Apparently, they compete with some much higher priced sets (e.g. Sennheiser, Beyer, etc.).

Yep, I was hoping the Silver CTI300 was on sale as its a true beauty, but no luck.

  That link is to the ES-FC300.

Yes, the 2nd post in the thread linked to white and black with red cable. The Violet availability i provided is new information.  
 
I was focusing on the colors rather than the cable as the phones FC and HF are identical  except for the fancier cable on the HF (and beautiful chrome and brown finish in this case.)
