tbhariHaven't plugged them in yet, but here are some pictures and initial thoughts:
Stoppers and adapter, focus on the adapter. My adapter does not appear to be put together well, the outer part of the large end moves and the cable does not insert all the way. I will probably just use my own adapter.

Cable, focused on the inserts for the headphones.

Badly focused certificate of authenticity (my fault with the camera, the certificate is clear I swear!)

Cable inserts to the headphones, and sound holes to adjust bass.

Size adjuster.

ZMF engraved headband.

Headphones! I noticed that if I take the headphones and flip them over, it sounds like something is loose and moves around in 1 of the shells. The shipping package was in great condition, no bumps or anything, maybe it was just a rough ride. Subtle movements aren't enough to notice it, but turning it over from one side to the other does. As long as everything is fine on the inside, I don't anticipate this causing issues while listening.

tbhariComfort: Initial thoughts are that they are very comfortable and not too heavy. Will have to see how they hold up with longer use. I can't imagine any headphone beating my Sennheiser HD-598s for long term use.
Pre burn-in sound review (Warning, I am not an audio professional so I'll do my best to explain my thoughts. Also, a pre burn-in review is a bit pointless but oh well): Sub-bass is a bit light compared to what I'm used to (my HE-500s, no surprise there), but present enough Bass is strong and punchy, right where I want it Mids are a bit tingy and slightly drown out, but I imagine that will clean up just fine with burn-in Female vocals are beautiful Sound stage is hard for me to explain. Symphony No. 7 I feel like I am listening to the song, with the HE-500 I sound like I'm right in front of the orchestra, or partially inside of it. Maybe burn-in will help, or maybe it's the nature of closed headphones (I'm only used to open).
Equipment for review (not the most realistic to test with, but it's what is right in front of me at the moment): Schiit Bifrost Multibit HiFiMan EF-5
Will put in some burn-in and relocate them to my Schiit Modi 2 + Schiit Asgard 2 rig soon.
Songs listened to: Sub Bass Excursion (Bassotronics, Bass Mekanik) Doin' it Right (Daft Punk) Ritual - Matt Lange Remix (Delerium, Phildel, Matt Lange) Scarlet (In This Moment) While We Sleep (Insomnium) The Isle of the Dead (Rachmaninov, performed by BBC Philharmonic Orchestra) Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 - II.
