Just ordered a pair on Amazon. Worth a shot. 30 day return policy. Will be here on Wednesday. Good looking phones and will sound better than my apple earbuds. I have Senn HD650 which sound dark and rolled off (IMO) but they are hard to drive with an iPhone or Pono and being open headphones annoy my wife when listening in bedroom. The Pryma may work for me. Will eventually set up a mini bedroom headphone system to take advantage of my Aurender X100L server I'm keeping from blowing up my main rig. Maybe get a McIntosh D150 to bridge the server and headphones. Or the MHA100.

I just ordered a pair like these online for travel. If anyone is interested on the Saks website they are marked down $200 to $299 plus tax and $7 shipping. I think for this price its a good value.

Looking forward to your impressions David. Closed design is good for travel headphones.

I also just ordered from the Sonus Faber Pryma website, the "air cable" which replaces the wired connection with this bluetooth device . Sonus Faber claims it sounds as good as the wired connection with 10 hours between charges. I will let you know how the it compares to the standard wire.

I haven’t used my pair in quite a while. I only used them with my iPhone via audioquest dragonfly red. Sounds fine but nothing shocking.

I use my pair only with my iPhone and I agree "Sounds fine but nothing shocking". My other pair, Focal Utopia + EAR HP4, sounds shocking though.
I don't think you should by Pryma as your only headphone, but when you are moving around, traveling and so on its great for that purpose.

So, Pryma is really good when you travel and so.
I also use my pair with the lap top.
And I use it when I speak in the phone. Great sound and they are comfortable.
