Quite possibly best-in-class headphones.

Crossfade Limited Over Ear Noise Isolating Headphone

Just got the product - arrived 3 days early.

I purchased the LP2s after my third pair of Bose Around-Ear headphones died. Each one required disassembly and soldering to extend their lives - I needed something that could take a beating and not sissy out like Bose products. Don't buy Bose - they're silly. However, if you are a silly person, try Bose - they may be the company for you.

The first thing I did when I got these was drop them on the floor - and it broke. Not the headphones - the floor. And floors aren't cheap y'know.

I can't fault these things. They're the headphones I've been looking for for years. Look, sound, design - beautiful.

My headphones are earmuffs when it's cold here. And when it's cold it's -40C (-40F). I'll update this review if anything interesting comes about in the frigid, wretched depths of the near-subarctic as wintertime approaches.

But in the meantime I will enjoy the bejeebus out of these, cuz sweet jeebus they're good.

UPDATE: These are good for keeping ears warm in -20C / -4F conditions in Montreal. However, due to the metal plates there is more heat-loss than a similarly sized pair of plastic headphones. The fabric cord is superior to a plastic cord in resisting cold-induced stiffness/fragility.
