I was Jonesing so decided to hookah up with this sight unseen. Hope I don't get bummed. The dealer has been around a while so I doubt he will flake. Bud seriously, these do look cool and I have been wanting some headphones for a while.
The box included an XL tee shirt in cotton so that set the tone. The carrying case looks nice and at 35 bucks an ok deal. Lovely picture and packaging inside the box. These guys ooze class and quality. The phones are more solid than they appear in the picture. The cord is serious and not flexible, thick and almost hangs in mid air. The adapter from 3.5 mm to 1/4" is gold plated? and very tight fit so that's encouraging. They fit tight, but seem comfortable within 15 minutes. I wear a hat and they work well on top of the hat. The pads seem to hold the phones close to the ear which I think works well. The sound? It's pretty damn good, I have no basis for comparison. I wouldn't say bright vs. my ribbon tweeters, not harsh and cymbals sound realistic which is one of my measures. The mids are lovely. The bass is a bit weak but not bad, I mean not a 12" woofer bass but nice. Tight. Bass guitar tone sweet. Instruments sound as they should.
I give them a 9 out of 10 because 8 seems low and 10 seems optimistic. Very nice though.
