How good are those headphones? I've heard one or two decent things on the net, but never really spoken to anyone who owned a pair...

I absolutely love them. They sound amazing (most likely better than any headset targeted at gamers) and are EXTREMELY comfortable for long use. They're light, have comfy cloth pads and they're open so you don't get all sweaty. Being open means you don't get any isolation however, so if you live in a noisy household or using them for LAN specifically they wouldn't be great - Amazing for sitting on the computer all day however.

I do have one small gripe with them and that is that each ear cup can spin around on its axis endlessly, meaning the wires will take a lot of abuse if you're not careful. My left earphone has recently died because the wire got twisted (after 2 years of use however) but I'm going to open them up and replace the wire and all should be good.

I'll bring them along to next CH if you you're going.

That would be awesome. I've always enjoyed the feel of ones like my current Senns which fit completely over your ear. I would love to try something like the alessandro's, but I've been a bit nervous about how comfortable they are... don't want to fork out that kind of money if I have no if they'll be hurting my head after an hour or so
