It looks way better than the MINT instant TLR. Still....$400 for it is not something I want to spend...I'm in the market for an awesome pair of headphones and possibly an amp...so that is where my $$ will go! Now if I can choose between Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Sony and Audio Technica! I swear this decision is harder than when I decided on my first DLR brand! lol
