can i have an exact location? or is there any other place i can test it out? i live at Bandar Sri Damansara near kepong and 1utama....

w1k is no longer in production from japan lol. w1kx is w1k's successor.

in other words, go for that.

after reading reviews and suggestions from head-fi ,im planning to get an ATH AD900.

50% gaming,40%music,10%movie.

anyone can convince me that this would be a great buy?

if you're going for the AD series, its one of the best you can get from that series unless ur going for the highest ad2000 lol.

sounds better if you plan to change the earpads too
more so if you're having slightly higher priority on gaming, as more bass is always good for gaming

Problem with the AD2000 is the pads don't fit nicely with the ears. Even with different pads (A1000 pads), after one hour of listening the area beside my ear becomes sweaty. Not recommended if you game outside an air-cond room for long hours. Denon's pads on the other hand fits like an angle (just comparing pads, I'm still a AT fan) . I think AT should look into this matter... Sound wise, AD2000 will deliver up to your expectations if you like the sound signature.

Bros and sifus, can any1 recommend AT headphones with these features:

My Rig: iphone 4, psp, sony laptop
- Type of usage: 65% music 25% movies/ video clips, 10% games
- File format: mostly mp3, wma i guess
- Music genre: alternative rock,modern rock, RnB, hop and almost everything u hear on local english radio from 90s up to now
- Budget: rm1500. willing to go up 2 2k if its really worth it
- Headphone/ earphone type: over ear headphones. ( pls DO NOT recommend Dr. Dre's Beats PRO cos i already have it, the design and material is cool but the sound quality is a MAJOR disappointment.
- Other requirements: this is a bit tricky. need something with noice cancelling/ isolation feature ( good when inside airplane/ trains). COMFORTABLE ( doesnt put much pressure on the ears after hours of usage). no sound leak ( dont want to sound disturbing to the people arnd me). good looking ( a must), durable and built for last( if possible). SQ and clarity must be VERY GOOD, bassy but not too bassy ( dunno if i made any sense on that last phrase there).

read review abt AT M50, sounds good but the only set back i think is there is no noice cancelling feature.

u can ask AT sifu about his Audio Technica Quiet Point ANC7 Noise Cancelling Headphone~

i think the main prob is not quite the pads (what am i saying, a big part of it is. lol), its the surface of drivers pressed against your ear, and/or the ear pads, being too squishy (because it has holes on it rofl, and the inside stuffing/spongy thingy is kinda thinned to allow easy air flow, to have that airy signature)

solution: w5k pads. LOL!

Added on June 19, 2011, 8:17 amwhy dont you goto jaben and give the A/woody series a try before deciding? your budget is very good, but with AT's various lineup, and your preference, there is no way we can provide an accurate recommendation with such a generous budget (wouldnt want them to goto waste now do you?)

while i would recommend AD series, your requirement of listening on an airplane/train would immediately fail because its a full open can, which means sound from ur headphone would leak like crazy, as if you're wearing 2 speakers on ur ears

in terms of good looking, woody series looks hella awesome. or if you want the futuristic looks, A series fits the bill too. so, yeah, either the A2000 or w1000x (or w5000 if you can stretch ur budget )

Hi guys...
Is iphone able to drive ESW9? My hippo jus spoil that day..T.T

yes its a low impedence high efficiency portables

may need to bump up the volume above 60% though....

not at all.. its high sensitivity, very easy to get loud volume.

Anyone buy AT headphones from Amazon b4? Im wondering about the shipping cost to Malaysia and if headphone will kena tax. After adding all those, will it be still cheap? Im looking at AD700.

Add in: I just read 2 page back amazon shipping is USD80, but if joing amazon bulk it could be Rm100. Will kena tax ka?

over rm500 = minimum 10% tax (depending on item category), whats left is a matter of luck if custom want to tax you or not
why not buy from local dealers/distributor? like jaben for example. they *may not* have the cheapest price, but considering shipping/taxing, and warranty coverage, and that peace of mind, i think its far more worth it.

btw, why not AD900?

so if the earphone/headphone is priced below RM500 we wont get taxed?

including shipping as well, so if the shipping is rm100, ur headphone/item cannot be over rm400.

Hmmm sure Jaben will the local seller of choice, but i saw hikari85 selling slightly lower than Walabies.

I do read review AD700 vs AD900, not very far right?

Em this one will be for my brother, not me he he... depend on him. Im on hifi speaker oledi : )

if you read from headfonia, its quite significant, and well worth for the price difference.

however to me (and even headfonia), one the biggest "driving force" for the ad900 over ad700 is the ugly ad700 color scheme

oic, i mite need research m50 too. cos i mite get annoyed cos ad700 leak sound. i cant stand his ksc75 leaking already. we keep our 3 pc in a pcroom along with all my audio gear... and normally we hang out here listening to speakers, but sometime he listen his own thing and i get annoyed at the leaking sound if he turn on too loud.. lol
