Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

Listening to my first track. The Elex sounds amazing. Very dynamic presentation of rock guitar and drums.
Initial impressions (from literally only 5 songs): Product packaging is very luxerious. The retail box will serve very nicely for long term storage . Really nice build, with very atractive esthetics. The photos on Massdrop do not convey how attractive they are. The cables seem well made, but I can see upgrades for aftermarket cables some time in too distant future. On my head, they are hefty feeling., but are well balanced, not noticing any pressure spots on top or on my ears. The ear pads are really comfy. I wear glasses, I don't have or perceive pressure spots along the frame. There is plenty of bass, but no muddiness into the mids. Plenty of treble, but no piercing spikes. Vocals are very nice sounding. Neil Young sounds just right on this track. I might p-off the Sennheiser fan boys, but this HP is deffo a step up from the 6xx (which I also have). Stack is Win 10, Foobar, Gustard X12 DAC, Gustard H10 Amp.
Anticipating many long term listening sessions.
Edit: There is goodly amount of clamp. But not so much, that I would have to spread out the headphoine band for relief. No expectation for clamp related pain like some other HPs, (I'm ooking at you HD6xx)
There was a barcode on the outside of the box. There's a sticker under the right ear cup pad. There's a laser engraving under the right ear cup pad.
...sorry for your loss
I've paired the Elex with schiit magni 3 and modi 2 uber, and the aune x1 and x7s
