Has anyone tried those Allen & Heath Xone headphones?

Thinking of getting some new headphones too, probably the hd-25's. I've had to superglue my Reloop's twice all ready.

AKGs are definitely nice! I've been using them for years. Although, the bass response was lacking. Seems this model might have corrected the problem.
