These I did spend a little bit of time at the SD meet...
Sound
Out of the open planars that I heard at the meet, I liked these ones best, followed by the HE-6s. They are different form the Paradox though. Perhaps a little more fun and posses more air. Bass extension is ortho-good and have great dynamics. Mids had more presence than what I've heard from the Audezes. Which is good. This is not a dark headphone. Treble has presence, but didn't feel it would be fatiguing or painful at all. Very enjoyable.
Comfort
It is what it is. It's ortho heavy. Pads are plenty comfy tho.
Presentation
Elegant. Perfect can to drop the needle on them records, and smoke a cigar...
Price
Dunno. PM LFF.
Overall
Kicks ass. Not poo. Oh Mie Gawd.

Looks excellent. Is that constant 2dB difference between the channels an artifact of your measurement or actual imbalance?
