EDIT:
Here's my impressions after burning it in for 48 hours and disabling my EQ:
lows and bass separation are waaaaaayyy better, WOW. The best on my collection right now (M50x, K267, K7XX, HD 598)
vocals: worse on higher pitches, misses a lot of details but much clearer on male voices. Really liked this headphone on rock songs especially My Chemical Romance.
Treble/High are not very clear on this headphones, my K7XX is just much more livelier and I prefer its sound signature(again with this headphone much more darker).
----------------------------------------------------
Just got mine and I do not like the sound at all. Like others has been saying, it's too muddy and I had to EQ it to get a good sounding separation. Ended up returning to my AKG K7XX headphones after an hour, I do not need to EQ these headphones to get a good sound. Driving this with an JDS Labs O2 headphone amp
My HTC M8 can't drive this thing properly anyways so I didn't even try it to compare against AKG K267.
This was the EQ I tried making (I just eyeballed reversed the graph on the description) :

Going to burn this in for 48 hours and go back again to see if this is going to be a disappointment or not
MDuhThey will sound dark and subdued after AKG's .. it's like the difference between walking into a studio recording/monitoring room thats acoustically treated with the Fostex.
You can listen to these all day without fatigue, and just enjoy the music.
That amps probably not good enough to drive the planars properly - the AKG's are easier to drive.
MDuh2 o'clock? I am using the standalone O2 amp and I can't put it to 10 o'clock without my ears hurting from the loudness. Slightly past 9 is my limit. I did not turn on the high gain, because with the O2, there is an issue with T50RP's where the bass will distort. Low gain seems plenty.
I didn't EQ mine but I have to accept that the sound signature is different from my A700X's which feel lighter despite it being closed. The T-X0 feels intense and not in a muddy way. At least to me. So far, I've burnt them in for 50 hours.
MDuhit probably puts out about 500mw into 50ohms - you really want an amp with more drive 1w output into 50ohm minimum. Remember these will take 3w of power
