Well, if you pay about 1 900 ¤ for a couple of headphones you SHOULD expect the best. And yes, you will have the best! But that does depend on some certain things, such as you having quality impressions made. To me, these ones fit extremely well, but without hurting/tearing on my ears. The impression of the packaging is very luxurious and gives a high quality feel. And the sound quality; WOW! Very gentle, smooth sound - but still extremely clear and accurate. I never thought that a small piece of in ear equipment could sound this good. Truly amazing! The price is high... but you get what you pay for! One thing with the quality is that there are no manual on the filters included (it's quite simple though) and the whole filter part feels quite cheap for a couple of in ear headphones worth more than your soul... but the whole experience besides that one is very close to perfection! Now I can sell all my other headphones, right? ;)
