Design is expensive
29 September 2011 
I don’t think I’m saying anything new when I say you pay quite a premium for the design. They keep sound in and noise out, the music is rich and lively, and they’ll make most portable players sound bad—these headphones clearly weren’t made for them.
No complaints about the design—really nothing to nitpick. Stylish and, by the way, mega-comfortable headphones. The take on the frequencies is mixed. Lows are close to ideal, mids are fine, and the highs are a separate story. Overall, the sound is lively and punchy, but if there’s a lot of HF, distortion starts. Only turning the volume down fixes the problem.
High frequencies and price

Great model, really like it. Bought it in the US, so I don’t think they’ll break anytime soon. Worth the money. Highly recommend!
It looks very prestigious, and the sound is absolutely amazing!!!

Overall, I'm very pleased with the headphones, their sound and design!
Very good headphones, high-quality build, reliable construction, materials: leather and metal.
The design deserves special mention: everything looks stylish, minimalist, and well thought out—the designers really did a great job!
The headphones sit comfortably on the head and ears, the leather is very soft, and there’s no discomfort even during long listening sessions.
Overall sound quality is excellent, with good isolation from external noise.
It’s nice to have a music control remote that works great with iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
The 3.5 mm (mini-jack) plug design isn’t very convenient for the audio source device. The plug is very long, so it tends to bend often, which can eventually damage the contacts. But with careful use, there shouldn’t be any problems.
