Im also own an ever expanding collection of high end cans for music listening and this is every bit on par as a high fidelity set in its own right. They seem well constructed. Comfortable, good quality & sound. The relationship between the candidates sons, Dre and Dean, was very enjoyable. Oh well! I recommend a pair for your gym bag. I spent 40$ at Home Depot for screws and 2x6s. Do they have the sparkle of a swarovski? My humble opinion, no. Light enough to easily handle yet sturdy enough for my towels. As you see the uploaded photos, 8 pieces installed.
