These headphones do everything they are supposed to, they isolate well, sound nice and are generally very well designed. There are a few snags though, this is the first pair of headphones I have ever had to expand before being able to get a comfortable fit, this is not ideal because you risk over stretching them. I was quite lucky with my stretch sessions and the end result is very pleasing, but it is an error in the design that should not have been there in the first place. It is a shame because the rest of the design works brilliantly.

After using them for a week it is clear that the design of these headphones makes them ideally suited for use on the move, they can be folded together and even sound great out of less powerful amps than those I have at home. As for practicality on the move the folding part is great but the cable is just way to long and rigid. Unlike the rest of my high end headphones these can be powered by a portable headphone amplifier and still sound great. My AKG K701s and Sennheiser HD580s only come to life when powered by a good stationary amp.
