wooden headphone.... woo.... cant afford one yet.

Now that's, something, serious!
W5000....

If I were to buy it, will it be cheaper to get it in Jpn or get from you, Akabane?

Actually I tried my M30 with Foobar 2k, compare the same song 128k MP3 VS lossless WAV.... but I can't really hear the significant difference though.

Btw sep90, last time I saw you put some new ATH wooden models in one of the thread, can repost the pics here? Can't find it anymore...

yep those deadly poison cans... thanks for the post up.

so far no details of these sweet stuffs? must cost more than an arm & leg lol.

I think we don't have it here, usually go through dealers in the bulk/garage section.

Going to get my M50 tomorrow from Akabane, hahah, looking forward to it!

Thanks for the briefing, I shall compare it to it's younger sibling the M30.
So far no amps though, just play it through laptop or radio.

Added on January 10, 2009, 10:06 pmWell, what can I say? M50 pwns!

Immediately noticed the difference when I tried it with M30 side by side.



M50 sounds louder than M30 at the same volume setting. I've to tune down the volume settings of the computer and Foobar so that my ear won't hurt.

Bass is good, I like it. Played the same part of the song and tried to compare both. M50 > a burned M30.



I'd say it's nice, though it's just a few hours into burning in. Definitely will sounds better once completely burned.

Thanks again Akabane.

lol thx.... just the 2nd stage nia.... belum lagi real poison yet.

Review on ATH-M50:
http://phantomclf.blogspot.com/2009/01/aud...ca-ath-m50.html

Much of the comments on the headphone is over there.

Wanna add, the noise isolation is better than M30 as it covers the ear better than the younger "brother".
M50 is much comfortable compare to M30, which I find it kinda like gripping my head when I first put on it.


Eyeing on this in few years time....




P/S:
EP-630 is mostly used when I'm outside, commuting on the LRT etc. Spotted a guy who uses the same earphone too, I guess maybe he got it from Neologian too?

yakah? well according to sep90 the sound of A200X is different from the other ATH models, so maybe it might affect it?
dun really go deep into the reviews yet until I can afford one.
by the time i think should have other newer models already.

cant think of any, but why would you still want to get Philips when you have Audio Technica? AT simply beats Philips.

Yep... sweaty ears after using it for long period. u might fell annoyed with this prob but once u get used to it it should be fine.

welcome bro. welcome to the family lol. just remember to burn-in, like any other headphone/earphone.
I'm burning in my Mylarone Bijou now.

W5000 for gaming? my god....

but seriously, other than audiophiles, what's the practical use of W5k? like M50 is for studio monitor like that....?

A or AD series might be good, A700 or so? Price I not sure though, but should be less than 1k.

wah how can u resist such temptation? eagerly try out new stuff whenever i get hold of it lol.

I got it from Akabane's bulk.

Alternatively, you can try on Walabies' bulk.
