Okay, so the headphones which were first predicted to ship Monday the 1st and then (after they showed up in the warehouse in Hebron, KY) predicted to arrive Friday the 5th, arrived today.

How do they sound?

Let's say that where the packaging says "revolutionary bass bliss" - well, I wouldn't be surprised if there were an unexpected mass uprising, because the rest of it is dead on. It picks up instruments in Joni Mitchell's "All I Want" (from Blue) that I didn't even know were there six minutes ago. The legendary bass riff from The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" comes through perfectly. Even bass-light tracks like Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold" benefit.

A+. Would buy again.

(Oh, man! "Omaha" from Counting Crows!)
