kiaroskuroUPDATE: I traveled through the US and Europe for 3.5 weeks with these in a soft-sided pouch (not the ones they came with) and they held up! Of course, I was careful with them and placed them near the top of my backpack so they wouldn't get crushed. Nothing but love for these headphones. They're not so great for noise isolation on a commercial jet (I was on 777s and various Airbus jets, and I'm comparing them to the Etymotic 3RXRs that I also brought with me, and those are basically earplugs with speakers), but they are a great match for wearing on European rail systems. You can hear just enough to know when there's an upcoming stop announcement, but not so much that you hear other passengers.

I have a small head, so my first worry when buying any headphone is whether or not the band will fit. The Thinksound headband fits just fine, and I actually have to expand it just a bit. The memory foam pads settle into the shape of my ears after a few minutes of wear, so they don't seem to fit right away, but when they do, they feel fantastic.
The sound quality is definitely fun, and more towards the V-shaped side of things, which I do like. The soundstage isn't as large as the M50x, but I didn't expect that going in. I'm not sure if the wood really makes a difference, but they certainly have a warm sound that is easy on the ear, and I expect the more I get used to them, the more I'm going to love them. Trebles are crisp, and bass is punchy and defined.
The only thing that I wish that these headphones had was a hard-sided case. I'm a little wary of traveling with them in the soft pouch that they come with, but I do appreciate the environmentally-friendly production and values.
