I sold my AD2K last year and retained all my woodies with me. W1000 i have with me on that day, seem you getting posioned by the W11JPN is no cure for you on that day. At least a one week or something to recover you phobia hehe..anyway i'm planning to do another round gathering in Starbucks if anyway one of you wanna joined to meet me. Is still in the midst of planning and see the response of people who can join. This is another round of gathering in my mine, it will be held on next month.

Didn't realise it was nearly the 50th Anniversary for AT. Let's see what they have in store this time.

50th anniversary woodie!!! ear clip, on ear, over ears~

This post has been edited by Slevin Sent: Jun 14 2011, 09:23 AM

The moment I read this I thought on the On Ear Wangs. Well, had been interested to get a woody for some time, we shall see, we shall see.

that AT 50th anniversary website.. semua nihongo tak paham ah...

kucing : hehe everytime i hear the esw9a or esw9 make me wanna buy it, aiyaakkk, but sticking to plan, now fund an amp for ad700 n for future jump w1000

but every single time hear ppl say esw9, sure feel like wanna but em for portable, but already have se215, sigh, if buy that, then have to delay amp, thus delay fullsized w1000,

ahaem geno : if u want i have lobang cheap2 for used prestine cond esw9 with jaben warranty until 2012

Is SJ55 a headphone that covers the whole ear? And is it available in Malaysia yet?

sj55 is available in malaysia ady , cn audition at jaben ss15 subang, but i dunno whether it covers whole ear anot sry

urs AD700 reach d?

save money for 50th anniversary woodie la LOLz

Slevin also plan to get one?

ya PLAN... but no money... lolz

ppl that got custom and HD650 can say no money wor.

neah... i tot i got a cheap deal... but since its as almost the same as retail over here.... i lost my interest..... im thinking of replacing my ATH M30 since my brother now using it....

wonder how much it wud cost lae d 50 years, now funding2 amps, then wood i come ! xD w1000 or w1000x

i'll order one from us soon will let u know bout it... whether its original or not lolz

i also afraid its fake~

welcome to the club, and grats on v4

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~

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...&t=1761675&st=0

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?

This post has been edited by dlyz: Jun 25 2011, 10:03 PM

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

oh the AD series leak like hell, FAR worse than ksc75 ever would. you may want to look into the A series, or the w1kx (woodies ) if ur budget can stretch that far, additionally m50 is a good choice, though those are monitoring headphones and some people prefers their headphone to be "fun" and "lively" than pure monitoring accuracy.

ha ha ha... thanks for the tips... i will come back to the thread later on...

im only worried he not satisfied later with sub 1k headphone... after all, we have been spoiled by Dynaudios

That's very understandable as dyn audio also got involve in car audio, you don't see me recommending anything less right?

Hi there..anyone know hows the signature for ESW9??
Is the isolation good???

What earpads is good for this Ad900 gaming?

as mentioned above/before, that would be the w5000 ear pads. bear in mind that it costs almost RM300 though lol

the whole AD series is open air , of course it will leak sound!

is there any better headphone than ad900 for metal music? IMO, ad900 is really excel in this kind of fast music.....

w1000x is the nxt step new generation woodies , great for em rock

i personally dont think the ad900 is particularly excel on metal, however if you like that open soundstage, and especially that coloration or signature on the trebles, and strong mids, then yeah definitely.

better headphones, i wouldn't know, however i have been hearing that grados are particularly good for rock/metal, and they have much better "energy" than the AD900 or AD series in general.

i have grado sr60i too....but i still prefer ad900 for metal because every note is clear and distinctive, especially the bass......
maybe, higher end grado may sound better than ad900.......
but only problem is some female vocal sound weird to me in ad900, it's like "grainy" a bit.......especially, alison krauss voice.....
do u have this kind of problem,Quazacolt?

aztoiozalan, nasib baik u didn't ask me to walk everywhere......
it's ok, belum cuba, tak kena racun.......so can resist the temptation!

oh that is rather interesting coming from a grado owner, more so the bass comment, as i have known that the AD series aren't particularly good in bass until you reach the flagship of the series AD2000 which have a emphasis on low-mid/low (bass).

as for female vocals, i think if its higher pitched ones, with the AD900 sound signature/coloration, then it *may* appear grainy to some, or maybe harsh. i'm not particular familiar to alison krauss so i cant comment further on that i'm afraid. ^^;

hey ya guys...any1 of u hav try claim warranty with audio technica at malaysia before? i wanna claim mine SJ-11....the left handside earphones are spoil it just one month old +

firstly, try to claim from the source you bought it from with receipt, should be ok.

if there are any issues then you bring it up over here, or to audio technica malaysia directly

Quazacolt, if it is possible, can u post a youtube link of female vocal that u find harsh with ad900?
sorry for the trouble, just want to make sure nothing wrong with the headphone......
thank u very much for ur help......

i tried to find audio technica malaysia by using google...but dun have any result as it point it to singapore only

do you have any ideal where i able to claim it directly with audio technica malaysia?

sending back to the source i bought will takes ages for sure

well i did mentioned "to some", in which for me, i find it perfectly fine lol.

as for youtube, that would be pretty tough either even if i have female vocals that i find harsh, as its kinda tough to be analytical over youtube quality

Quazacolt, it's true that youtube is not the best way to analyze the sound.....
thank u anyway.....

try to send an email to audio technica singapore and see what is their reply?

i guess you bought your AT unit from overseas? even if you try to claim from AT malaysia, considering its not under them, i think it may be tough as well. thats always the risk when buying through overseas, when you save a ton from import taxes or even shipping in some cases, when it comes to warranty issues, prepare to suffer, as you may need to ship back to the source.

errmm.. maybe u can try looking for those high pitch vocals.. honestly i find that the high of ad900 is a bit ear-piercing/harsh.. in my case, Andrea Bocelli -Con Te Partiro and Celine Dion -It's All Coming Back to Me Now.. luckily my amp can soften the high a lil bit..

thanks for the recommendation,sheenho......
i will try to listen to the songs and see.....

well speaking of amp, considering govibe peak's (the amp i use) bass coloration, it could be why i dont find the high pitch female vocals harsh at all.

ic.. shall try the amp when ive the chance.. =]
im using a hybrid amp, it softens the high and mid, boosting the low thus make the bass punchier.. am really satisfied with the performance..

btw, made my first visit to Jaben Penang.. kena poison by A2000x.. >.<

thanks for the amp recommendation,Quazacolt.
i'll consider it too......

np, most importantly as always, do try it out first before you start making decisions
thankfully theres jaben around to make this possible, or at least, easier.

no problem

sounds more like a dac limitation to me.
