Appearance:The appearance of these headphones is simply stunning.  Keep in mind that they are quite large, so these are of use when working, relaxing, or on a plane - not suited to any mobile activity.  In addition, because of the size, they won't be easily carried - you'll need to transport them in a bag of some sort.  The Bubinga wood is gorgeous and the paddings on the head strap are lush.  These simply look very expensive and very luxurious.Sound Quality:Now, I admit that prior to getting these, I've been an earbud person, and I'll still keep those for whenever I need to be more mobile.  However, the sound quality on these headphones puts my little earbuds to shame.  The sound was very sharp with no static.  They are also quite good at keeping out ambient sounds.  Although I haven't used them on a plane yet (will soon!), I did use them in a room where some four and five-year olds were playing.  Though I could still hear the kids slightly, I was able to focus more on the music I was listening to.Comfort:This is key for me.  No matter the sound quality, if a set of headphones or earbuds is uncomfortable, I won't use them.  These were plush and comfortable.  My ears didn't start getting sore or red.  The padding was just right.  And, in spite of the size, they didn't feel heavy.Conclusion:A quality, luxurious set of headphones that I am thrilled to wear!
