Just got mine in (Ottawa, Canada) and I'm loving them. From the packaging and presentation to the headphones themselves. They are however a bit more heavy on the lows than I am used to (only used with my Nexus 5 thus far), after coming from only using Superlux HD668B's which has is a more neutral signature. I've really only just begun to use these but I'll try to give a more detailed update about how I feel about them overall (don't expect too much because I really am not familiar with describing sounds in an audiophile sense).
On a slightly different note the isolation was much more apparent than I was expecting. Like I said I've only been using the Superlux HD668B's which are a semi open design, however the difference in passive noise reduction is surprising.
I can potentially see the issue with clamping as I'm starting to feel it just a bit (I believe I wear a size 7 1/4 hat size) but as of yet it's nothing concerning. I'm assuming the memory foam will adhere to my head in no time. Anything is a step up in comfort compared to my last cans.
Also, I was charged $25.46 in customs + handling feeds, $15.51 in customs and $9.95 for handling so be sure you Canadians have some cash or credit ready
