Here's an honest review by a gent I know personally:

Also are you guys really making this headphone purchase a political thing? If anything you should be supporting industries that is associated with arts because arts is what cuts through politics. Anyways, very tempting to get onboard this one, I've heard the pre-production unit in the tour and I really liked what I heard. They also took care of the ugly non-painted/silver color scheme and went with black/wood (a personal preference of mine). $699 is very very tempting...
