Build quality complaints I disagree with, myself. They don't feel particularly SOLID in a robust sense, but I think they're well built, and I also personally think they're extremely light and comfortable as a result of their construction. Interestingly enough, despite the lack of a swivel on the cups, I find them far more comfortable than the HiFiMen which I can never get to sit on my head with any semblance of correctitude despite their having a swivel in the cups.
The abysmal distortion measurements are really the only reason why I'd agree these should go on the Wall of Shame. Even though it actually doesn't bother me much while listening, it's the principle of the thing.
That being said, I cannot get behind the comments about their making music as forward as possible, having a shitty tonal balance, and lacking detail.
