I can't talk about the sound yet because I'm still listening to the first few songs on these things, but the box was actually shit-tier. They come in a super plain Foxtex/Massdrop branded box, which is fine, but you open the box and they're basically held between some cardboard with bubblewrap around them and it's pretty "wtf" when opening it up.
Look at that fucking wood though. They're beautiful headphones. I wore them for about ten minutes before listening to music and they're pretty comfy. The pads are a'ight and I can see why people want to change them but I don't think I'm going to be doing that right away. They're good enough. I'm also pretty surprised at how nice the cable is. If you don't know Fostex, they basically have vacuum cleaner cables on all their high end headphones. It's still perfectly flexible and really light though.
I will say, after briefly swapping back and forth from these to my K7XX's, I finally understand what it means to have to drive a headphone. The TH-X00 is only 25 ohm impedance and I barely have the TH-X00's at 9 o'clock on my Magni 2 Uber and it's pumping good sound. I unplug them, plug in the K7XX's (hard 62 ohm impedance), and I need to crank that bitch to get the same kind of goodness out of the K7XX's. Super easy to drive the TH-X00.

thebrassthiefI wish mine looked that good. Mine are too dark and look bland.

thebrassthiefand i agree. the packaging of these are crap even if they say these are 50% off...surely spending a few bucks more per headphone wouldn't be a big deal.

thebrassthiefHot damn those are some sexy cups. If I knew I would get some like that I would be almost tempted to get in on this drop.
