Anyone knows where I can find replacement ear pads for my ATH-ANC7b?

Joey

So I've been trying to burn in more hours on the AD2000x as it still looks and sounds like a new headphone. There's another unit of AD2000x in the store which has more burn in hour as I can notice the difference but the earcups of that one are a bit dampen. I've never listened to AD2000 before, so I can't really do a write up on comparing it with AD2000x. Please note that my primary headphone is W1000, and my setup is heavily coloured on midrange, which has eliminated any sibilance.

Here goes my brief impression:
The moment I plugged it into my setup(D6->Yammy), I just couldn't stop listening to music. It is lovely and musical. I couldn't find any word to describe the sound signature and not able to pinpoint the 'strongpoint' or the 'emphasis' of this headphone. I can say it is a quite neutral headphone, with a bit of coloration on midrange. The midrange is bodied and full. But the high is kinda disappointing for my liking, I find it a bit cold and sometimes harsh. Bass? I can survive with W1000, surely AD2000x has better bass in terms of quantity and quality. For vocal, I would go back to W1000 anytime. Instrument separation is good, wide soundstage. Suitable cans for groove jazz, light jazz, orchestra and OST! It is a fast and responsive headphone, but not thin sounding. In fact, the sound is quite full and bodied. My Yammy is a slow amp, so I can't really test the headphone on rock songs. But one thing for sure, AD2000x shines with Jpop too.
Final thought- It's a mixed feeling. I like the headphone, it really sings, but I am a bit disappointed with the sound. Maybe I have put the wrong expectation on this headphone.


Some quick snaps.




Cheers!

nice post
want to ask
your yammy forever covered with cloth even when in used ?

Thanks bro.
Yup, I always cover the amp with cloth to keep it warm.
Usually it sounds better after at least an hour of warming up(in my case).

oh
i also want to try covering it liau
normally i only cover when not in use only

Covering up a tube amp helps, especially in an air-conditioned room. Not really sure about solid state where cooling = better power

thanks for the review/write up bro... audition soon? if i'm crazy enough i may drive to your place just to do it (kedah, right? rofl)

You are welcome bro.
Audition? Sure thing! Yep I'm from Kedah
Maybe can ask Neo or anyone from Penang to have a gath. I can leave my cans with them in case I might not be able to attend as my schedule for this year will be super pack.

see how la just a random spurt of emotion/thought

and it's a good chance to give my new car some exercise
