Cool box.....

    

 

They appear closed backed and they are very sensitive at 32ohms and SPL 121, which is more like IEM figures. That makes them very easy to drive, so it would suggest they would not leak much sound and with the shape keep you well isolated.  Very tempting...must audition.

However.......

  

So not like B&W who have entered the headphone market by designing and making their own headphone.

Re: A review I'm looking forward to.

I thought Koss PRO 4AA headphones were the real rocker's choice.

(I have seen them recommended by drummers especially.)

Almost as iconic as Marshall. The PRO 4AAs have looked identical since their launch in 1970...

Re: A review I'm looking forward to.

Not many people know, but the biggest name in amplifiers is actually a drummer.Geeked


I'm not too worried about brand engineering. They stuck a Marshall logo on my Pure Evoke and I'm more than happy with that.

Yes

Would be very tempting to buy those cans to use with the DAB radio for some late night BBC Radio 3 sessions.  Especially seeing how easy they are to drive.
