Mine arrived and they sound great, as expected. But I assumed it would come with a storage pouch like my other high-end phones, but no. Just this huge padded box, which is too big to store anywhere. Still, this is a pretty good deal.

I want my extra $34 dollars +Tax that I paid for mine just a couple weeks ago.

I paid $200 for mine back when they first came out. I pounced on it because it was such a bargain compared to $500 for the HD650. Even if it did come in a plain black box. So $195 is a very good deal indeed.

There aren't a whole lot of comparable products out there in that price range. Once in awhile you do see DT-880s for less, and those are fine headphones, but I prefer the relative linearity of a true open-back design.

Be forewarned, however: these are high-impedance headphones.

Mine arrive today. 😀 I was able to get them for $185, thanks to the $10 off coupon, for signing up for a Drop account. I can't wait to try these out, as I have heard so many good things about them.

They aren't particularly "accurate", but they sound very smooth and pleasant. I wouldn't trust them for mixing or mastering, but they're great for pleasure listening in the dark. They are my final QA for every mix.

I wasn't super impressed with them on first listen, but after adding a headphone amplifier to my nightstand sound system they really came to life. They sound even better in my studio, where I have a fancier headphone amp. Just don't expect your phone to be able to push them adequately, or even necessarily your audio interface's headphone outs.
