I bought these puppies just before Christmas and they have been a revelation.   I can't tell you how much they suit my listening tastes. I love close listening with lots of treble and tight bass and these deliver this in abundance.   Never before have I been this sad to take a pair of headphones off.   I used these for traveling to work but have been using them more and more inside as my main headphone. I can appreciate that the sound may not be for everyone (no sound is) but if it is then, sweet baby Buddha are you in for a treat.  ...

Perfectly good at doing what it was intended to do.   As good as some more expensive LOD's.

Price paid is without opamp and battry upgrades.   Price with upgrades is $217
