Here you can see the serpentine coil of the driver, set about half an inch behind spidey's woodshop project. The driver appears set straight into the (very nicely) machined dark aluminum of the frame.
The wood panel itself is about a quarter inch and composed of two pressed (glued?) plates. About half of the screws are surrounded by minor cracks in the wood.
When I first heard these I noticed a little glare reminiscent of the HE6, which dbel confirmed hearing as a bump in the upper mids. According to the JPS reps this is caused by the sandwiched wooden plates and the designers will endeavor to fix it by release.
The headphone band is rigid and angular, pretty much right angles at either end in fact. I'm not sure how much adjustment in clamping pressure this will allow, they felt a little loose on my head given their weight.
It's a so-so ortho with a poorly thought out design and delusions of grandeur.
