Highlights

Quality

Everything about the headphone is good, comfort, earpad fit, weight, sound quality, tuning, timbre, before and after eq sound, aesthetics.

The sound is engaging, spacious, detailed and very natural.

This stiffness is due to a proprietary array of ribbon conductors and other unique design features that result in truly superior sonics.

The cups are thin for a planar and i can see the wire trace on the driver itself; i worry about dust making its way onto the diaphragm.

Price

These are relatively inexpensive and offer the best bang for the buck.

This used to be a $1,200 headphone, i went to buy this after a long break away from audiophile stuff and at $600 i didn't hesitate.

I would only recommend these at a lower price point $1100-$1250 or hifiman make improvements like:headband sizingheadband leath... Read More

And i am not one to say a higher price headphone would make it the "endgame.

Shipping

Delivery can take weeks but well worth the wait.

I just got these in the mail and have had them on my head for about 30 minutes.
