If it sounds half as nice as it looks, I may have to keep my eyes peeled for one. Cool to hear they're making their way into people's hands.

Shit. I just accidentally reported your post rather than hit the comment button. Mods please ignore that.

What I wanted to say was that I prefer them to the Mahoganies, which were already fantastic. They sound more refined and focused all around, especially in the treble and, to a lesser extent, the bass. They would serve as an excellent gift to someone new to the hobby, offering an accessible, refreshing experience of the music without much fuss, though they do indeed scale with better gear, too.

Heh, I've made that mistake that a time or two myself. Kind of amazed it hasn't happened more often, given my penchant for fat-fingering shit.

Nifty impressions! How's the weight on your noggin?

Very comfortable. I could see myself wearing these for hours. The weight is a welcome heft that makes them feel sturdy and non-cheap, and the distribution is excellent. I suppose the main ergonomic complaint, as iterated ad naseum, is the cable length. I have it looped around a Emotiva passive pre volume knob and have no issues with this.

Well, at least that's a fairly easily correctable issue. Much harder to deal with the weight of inadequately balanced wooden cups. If I find myself in the market to buy a closed can in near future, this'll be at the top of my list. Seriously dig the color.

That's gonna look great next to the Purple Heart Pavane DAC :-)

Mine (finally) arrived today. At first blush, me likey. They seem easy to wear for hours at a stretch. Already packing my Alpha Dogs for sale...
