Pros

Magnetically shielded.
Sweet desk candy.
Powered by USB or their own wall adapter.
Comes with four international plugs.
Cool design.
Volume knob doubles as a cord spindle.

Cons

Another case of style over sound.
USB cable is permanently attached.
Volume knob is on the back.
The styling won’t be for everyone.
Distortion at high volume.
Setup issues with USB on (one) example system.
Expensive for those who don't need the portability.
