The Kave XTD features a somewhat minimalist design, the back of the earcups is just a huge flat black plastic surface with a small Roccat Kave XTD logo on the left side. The ear cups are a closed back design and this should help them provide a much lower bass frequency compared to open back ear cup designs.
