I don't know why people waste money on headphones this expensive, when you can make music inside your own head for free. That's how a slickdealer does it.
I purchased these headphones in the last deal and put in a good amount of time on them. I also currently own Focal Clear MG Professionals, Sennheiser HD 650s and a random assortment of other headphones.

These have incredible soundstage, clarity, detail are very comfortable but do lack bass and can be fatiguing to listen to at times. If you read any review on these, it has been consistent with my experience. Doing side by side comparison with these to my other headphones, it makes the others feel muddled and it's been fun listening to some of my favorite songs and reexperiencing them in a different setting.

Similar to gColossus, I was expecting to be blown away but personally I've found that after a certain price, it really comes down to preference. I also find them to be more on the analytical side which I appreciate if I'm doing critical listening. I actually prefer the HD 650 over these for the majority of my listening as I find them to be more intimate and less fatiguing with the type of music I typically listen to.

I do plan on keeping these and are happy with the build quality and the sound. But if you're looking to spend $1200 on these headphones, know that there might be better options at a more affordable price depending on what you're looking to get out of them.
well, i had a HD 660S before that. it is very different headphone.

I was expecting to be blown away, but it was just very different. Very wide soundstage, and very precise, critical, and accurate. Bass is definitely a lot more muted compared to HD 660S.

I ended up EQ-ing it as well. I am keeping the headphones.

Ordered, will see whether the Mojo 2 can drive this sufficiently. Wonder how it would compare with my IER-Z1R's

Damn. Got one last time this deal was posted by OP.

The only thing i can think of is the link says: "emailprice" so it could be intended sale for email subscribers.
