SG Stereo guy recommends me to get this for classic and vocal music.
I cannot find any in depth review for this headphone(even in head-fi forum). sad.gif
it's SGD409, how much you can get there?
*
umm, there are much better option for classic than AD2000.(personally i wont recommend you to get it for classical, in fact i never heard anyone recommending it for classical.)

And search again, there are tons of review for the AD2000 in head-fi smile.gif

AD2000 is good for every genre(opinion i got from both head fi and other japanese forum). But it does not do every genre particularly well either.

Oops, I'm actually interested in AD1000 not AD2000. blush.gif
The salesman told me K701 and DT880 is too much for ibasso boa. hmm.gif

A very big difference there.... biggrin.gif

But still, although a lot lesser, there are still some review in headfi.

I think the main difference between those two is AD2000 have more bass. And more clarity.

Well, if you don't mind taking a bus ride to Singapore, there's Jaben. Or maybe you can PM any one of the forumers over here who sells stuff like that, ie Davis, Walabies, etc, they might let you audition some of their goods.


Added on August 21, 2008, 10:22 pmQuick-ish review of the ATH-W10VTG (I have assignments to finish)

- Very efficient, arguably more so than my IM716
- Rolled off highs, so they sound polite
- Really spacious soundstage, for headphones. Imaging is good; the sound sources aren't just "point-sources", but have some body behind them.
- Jacked up midrange, very nice for vocals. This is the headphone's main strength.
- Doesn't go very deep, but there's lots of midbass.
- Some colouration, piano doesn't sound quite right.
- Slow-sounding; notes always seem to have half a second more decay than they normally would.
- Comfort is decent, but can get stuffy inside those earpads.

Unfortunately, I can't run them off my main source, so I'm mainly evaluating them off my integrated soundcard and my Zune.
*
hmm.gif I really doubt AT's headphone would have a rolled off highs actually. Judging from the rolled of highs and piano doesnt sound right comment. I guess you might have to work more on the fit. Try adjusting the position.

I never heard the W10VTG so take my comment as a grain of salt. But no harm trying it. laugh.gif

Hi guys, would like to ask, about the open air AD700, how loud is it for surrounding people?

not sure about that specific model but I got a similar one. Sound leaking is not a problem thumbup.gif by the time ur sound level starts to bother surrounding people ur already blown ur own ears tongue.gif

Mmm, the a2000x, from the reviews I read it seems like almost all the reviewer are not really happy with its bass performance. hmm.gif

yeah I know what you mean, usually when I test the equipment myself I got very different impression from what I read, but hey, we're not using the same setup or even the same song, so I take all the review as just a reference. Especially in my case where the music matters a lot lolx biggrin.gif

So usually I find reviews with those that listens to the same type of song as I do. thumbup.gif

Never tried the W1000 before, but from what I see you're comparing two very different flavor headphones here, I think it's best you try it out and decide for yourself.

Well, I LIKE to listen to as much details as I can. I also like speed. Electrostatics provide those in spades. Also, if you listen to VERY complex music(lots of instruments/directions), most dynamic headphones start to struggle to produce everything when it becomes too complex. If you're a person who likes to hear the bass, then stats are the way to go, if you like to feel the bass, then dynamics are the way to go. The closest dynamics that I've heard to stats in terms of details and speed were my MDR-CD3000 amped by pico and also the iM716 when properly amped. Close, but not the same.

However, having said all that, dynamics still has its place as I love my ATH-ES7 very, very much. As I type this I'm listening to Katie Melua via the ES7. Nice.
Some people feel that because stats are soo fast and detailed, the music looses body and they describe the sound as thin and anemic. So, to me, I say, stats or dynamics doesn't matter, it all comes down to personal preference and sometimes mood and type of music. You're lucky if you like one and not the other, if you end up liking both then...  doh.gif  .... well...  moneyflies.gif  moneyflies.gif

Oh and the ATH-W11jpn is pretty awesome too. I'll post some of my pics in this thread later if I have the time and if anyone here is interested. tongue.gif
In the end, its all about the music, never forget that.  whistling.gif

brows.gif IMO the SA5000 is a level or two above the CD3000 in terms of speed, details and sound balance.

Complex Music.....Check
Crazy Details.....Check
Speeeed......Check

I want to try the W11JPN!! cry.gif blush.gif

I doubt it will be poison to you brows.gif Since they both do share some similarity biggrin.gif

But the SA5000 doesnt have the CD3000's Ultra WIDE soundstage blush.gif

DEVICLOT, Yes, its still available. I'll check the latest price and let you know later.

Sieg, even the SRM-717+O2 didn't do it for me too man, very boring. I'd love to compare to a HE60 since they are the level of Lambdas.
*
That's why I mentioned the HE60 or orpheus smile.gif , since they are a little more forward and bright sounding, giving a little *taste*, unlike the O2 which like what you said - *Boring*(You're going to get killed by all the O2 fans sweat.gif )

I would love to try it too if I got the chance, one of the most powerful electrostatic drool.gif But I already know it wont be my type tongue.gif hehe

u sure?  sweat.gif heard it long enuff and it has superb clarity compare to any cans i heard b4 aside from orpheus
however it's lose to the warmess, bass and the clarity of the mother of all electrostatic can.....orpheus and it is 2nd most bloody comfortable headset i wore in my head...
other than it exceed my expectation in terms of musicalilty,superb transparency ( same as orpheus) and it is the most 2nd comfortable headset than orpheus...
with BlueHawaii heh u cant imagine wat i hearing at that godlike soundstage aledi  whistling.gif superb deep godlike bass and totally open concert hall transparency...with the imagination of the green lush hills of warm breeze gentle brushing yur face and body...very soothing and relaxing....ahhhhh nod.gif
For baby orpheus, performance wise is almost similar to orpheus but lose to details and comfortablitity of Orpheus....
and omega II wins over he60 over it's laidback soundsignature and not so simmering effect ( too bright ) very very warm and smooth soundsignature...
anyway it imho anyhow  wink.gif  cool.gif
*
That's why, personal preference nod.gif Not everyone enjoys that type of sound, I for one avoid it as much as possible. And I think Sony bro is not a fan of that type of sound too.

Nice! How does the earpad of the M50 felt?? Is it really soft like the Sony's XB700's earpad??

Oooh, XB700's earpad is so soft I cant pull my hands away from it......by far the most comfortable earpad I've ever felt
