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...

Comfort - Clamping pressure not too great, headband distributes weight evenly, light weight also preferred, but not required if headband designed properly. The only reason I'd wear a closed back over an IEM is that it's more comfortable wear or it sounds THAT much better, but the latter is rarer than I expected.
Efficiency - Probably using closed backs while out, so running from DAP or laptop without additional amp would preferable, or at most, needs something small like ifi nano BL
· What kind of strap/headband do you prefer? I've enjoyed the head band on Fostex's TH lineup, Audeze, Sennheiser 6xx, and Hifiman. Found the ATH-M40x, PSB m4u8, and Senn HD25 1 ii to clamp a bit too hard. One of my favorite headbands came from the ATH-r70x, now that I think about it...
· Are there particular brands you like? Specifically in the closed back market? Audio Technica (m40x), Fostex (THx00, th900)/ EMU Teak, and enjoyed the small amount of listening I did on the Aeon Flow Closed. The PSB M4U8's sound incredible, too, but I don't often need the convenience of a BT headphone. I've got the Audeze Mobius incoming, so we'll see how that goes. The 1More triple drivers are alright too, but the treble just sounds the tiniest bit artificial to my ears, probably because it comes from a different driver.
