Delivery in an understated presentation box looked like so once protective plastic film had been removed from the gold pipes …

… and thus once out of the box. For a nod at Japanese geisha culture…

… a décor item played photo op. The overlays describe certain details better than words would.

Mounted on an older Auralic headfi amp with wide-angle distortion shows how easily uneven heads would be accommodated. Swapping over to my own noggin was very comfy and the mid-sized ear cups still managed to fully surround my pink bits without pressing on them anywhere.

As you'd expect from an esoteric Japanese boutique—a country where the credo of the eternal apprentice as the artisan who continues to hone their craft over an entire lifetime remains alive and well—fit, finish and apparent build quality all were commensurately high. Only the cables looked very utalitarian so wire geeks will do like the girls in Paris do and pout a bit, then realize that remaining natural is far more becoming than too much makeup, collagen lips permanently stung by bees and fake lashes.
