Having owned dozens of headphones over the last 20 years, I would consider myself a headphone enthusiast. I briefly owned the Blue Mo-Fi, the original Blue headphone (with an amplifier built-in) of which the Sadie is based. Out of the box, my impression of the Mo-Fi was that it was the heaviest (about a 1-pound), largest, darkest (reduced treble), and tightest-clamping headphones I've ever owned... by far. While I could easily forgive their size, any one of those three other negatives made them completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, they had all three in spades.
While it's possible that Blue has improved the sound over the Mo-Fi, their size, weight, and clamp (uncomfortably tight just to keep them from falling off of one's head) remains similar or the same.
So unless your looking for neck exercises (and a thinner head) from your headphones, the Blue Sadie should be an hard pass - especially at this price.
