No clue. Never seen these anywhere or even heard of the maker. Head-Fi has zero hits about his headphone. They also give zero specs in the description, which should tell you a lot...and also $200 MSRP?! 
That's right alongside Invicta watches having $1,000 MSRPs and $79.99 street price.
If you are gong down into the $50 budget range; look at Audio Technica M30.

Hmmmm interesting.....a post on slickdeals said
I SERIOUSLY encourage people to try the Gemini HSR-1000 which is a rebadged Takstar Pro 80...
Almost ALL reviews and users at Headfi say these are superior and I can seriously tell you I've never heard ANY headphones better for anywhere NEAR the price.. $44 at Amazon right now.

Hmmmm okay, I have no clue what my fat fingers were doing yesterday 
Yup, found their mention on Head-Fi. Apologies and I stand corrected. Though I am curious about what "ANY headphones" the OP is saying they are better.
Anyway, $44 is not a whole of scratch and I have certainly spend more just to try out a headphone only to return it or sell it on the forums.
Your call, you need to figure out what you want to spend and what you can/cannot live without. Head-Fi will be a better source if you want multitude of opinions and existing impressions if you are still on the fence

It is tough to find a truly portable full size over-the-ear headphone. Cannot get around the physics of full size ear cups...plus the cable is oftentimes 10 foot long. My recommendations would be Beyerdymanics DT1350, Sennheiser HD-25ii series (which are on-ear)...both are all around great performers and built like German tanks ready to invade Poland (because they are). I own the Senn Amperior version and that thing has survived some serious abuse.
EDIT: Holy ****...just buy this and call it a day. I need another headphone like a hole in my head, but I will probably jump on this buy.

In late 2013 without any sort of fanfare, Beyerdynamic quietly released the DT 1350 CC. Featuring larger earpads, a newly designed headband and a 2.5m coiled cable allowing for greater freedom of movement, the CC aims to fix the comfort and usability issues in its predecessor.
have both as well and my face lift version came with bigger ear pads. Ear cups are different too slightly. The older ones have the cap with the white logo and the new ones have no cap and the logo etched in it. The new version is significantly more comfortable.

Since it's my only amp, I don't have anything else to compare it to. But overall, I'm very happy with the setup. I thought things were very good before the Sophia Princess upgrade, and then my mind got blown after rolling the tube. My mind got blown away again with the HD650. The roll off, soundstage, timbre just sounds so natural.
