Very nice and extreme collectable headphone from Pioneer, build like a tank in the origional box. The headphones are almost exclusively metal. Every major part of the headphones is made out of metal. (cups, headband, etc.) The construction feels very solid (as expected) and would probably be very hard to break. The leather covering on the headband is very nice and goes well with everything else. In terms of how nice the headphones look, I'd give it a solid 9.5/10. I've never seen a pair of headphones that are this beautiful. They've got that retro, vintage vibe and just oozes elegance. The headphones seem to perfectly accentuate the upright bass, sax and drums of John Coltrane's A Supreme Love. These headphones seem to be made for listening to jazz. As a bonus, the soundstage and instrument separation is surprisingly good. I could easily pinpoint every hit of the timbales and congas in Santana's No One To Depend On. * 1 side occasionally fails due to a small cable break. Easy and cheap fix but I would like to keep it origional. Buyer can decide if he or she wants to change it.
