The problem with round design is that they sit on your ear creating fatigue from the pressure after just a short while. This is one reason I have not gone for the Grado cans yet.

Great post Ajani as usual. Personally I could not care less how my gear looks, only the sound and value for the money is what's important. So if these are able to best the AKG 701s then they'll definitely cause me to sit up and listen.
However, the fact that they advertise them as made for iPod makes me wonder if the target sound quality for these had been set below the AKG 701 and Grado 325 from the beginning. I'll be looking forward to reading the reviews on these as well.
