In reply to Carl A Eisen. I believe what youre experiencing is the patina development of typical in the highest quality grade of leather such as the one used by the Stellia. Its natural

In reply to DH Fine. Hi DH Fine. Thanks for visiting us. The Stellias do isolate fairly well but are not the best at it. probably 25 to 30 db max. Far as bleed is concerned, bleed is not so bad either. And yea I wish they all sounded like the Utopia. The Utopia just has a wider and nicer more realistic tone.

Hello. Thanks for an excellent review. How does the Stellia do wrt eliminating external noise and preventing others from hearing your music? For example, I own the Liric which does reasonably well at both. And they sound good. I just sometimes wish they sounded more like my Utopia.

Thank you.

Hello and thanks for visiting our website. I mentioned this in the review and after I wrote the review I noticed the same happening with my pair. The headband leather is darkening. But I feel the same as you cause the sound is phenomenal.

In reply to Steven Zore. Hello and thanks for visiting our website. I love the Utopias but they do need some warm amplification, some bass increase with an equalizer and a good clean source.

I bought the Stellia about a year ago and within 9 days of receiving it, the leather on the headband started to discolor. About two months after that, it had turned totally dark and is now a sort of deep mahogany. The colors on the rest of the headphone remain the same as when they new, but be prepared for instant headband discoloration. It really doesn’t look that bad, but the overall look is really very different. What hasn’t changed is the superb sound and quality. Absolutely superb in every way!
