I recently spent a few hours listening to B&W 802 Matrix's and found them to be rather enjoyable. They were much bigger than I expected with a very satisfying sound. But then again, I've only heard 2 speaker setups so far, not including my own (a very budget setup).
I don't think the 325i's are ugly. They're just HEAVY. Personally, I felt the L3000 and most AT headphones are the prettiest. They are classier looking than other headphones imo.
Don't you know? Trose's next purchase is the iMod Dock and he's going to start a "NAME MY IMOD DOCK" thread. It's going to be named "iMod Dock 36V452XT".
Too bad not everyone thinks like you. I can't understand how that small block of wood can cost so much. I wonder if you asked him for a DIY kit how much he would sell that for.
I remember seeing these when I was in Taiwan a while back. This was well before I found Head-fi and all the headphone glory we share. I saw the price (in NTD) and almost choked, lol. I ended up walking away with a low end clip on by AT. They sounded dull and very hollow. KSC-75's trump them in everything but clarity. I've always wanted to try these as I found AT clips fit me very well. They're so low profile compared to the Koss clips. I especially like how it "clicks" into place.
