I personally own a pair of Purpleheart and I must say that they are a beautiful pair of headphones by the sound and looks. I must admit how ever that my pair haven't got all the attention they deserve! Wish I had more time to play with my headphones..

They are gorgeous to behold

Here's an image of my "main" headphones by my night-stand. These are my most-used, I love each for its own purpose. The Purpleheart are the only ones with a dynamic driver, the others are electrostat and planar magnetic respectively. The Fostex Purpleheart are for rocking out but man, there is a sweetness to the tonality of the midrange that rivals anything.
