Have a work-related obligation all weekend, but hopefully will pop by for the end of the event if I can get out a bit early on Sunday.  Possibly bring ATH-W3000ANV, but that's likely it, I'll already be lugging a work laptop...

Interest too if I don't have to work.  I've got the Audio-Technica W3000ANV, W2002, ESW9 & EW9 clipons.  Normally use laptop, benchmark dac-1 & old school dynahi amp with oritek x-1 rca cables.

I followed this thread from the beginning for a while and even posted a mini-review along the way, but it's grown to 112 pages!  Is there an actual full review, or any longer-ish mini reviews posted in this thread anywhere?...

Yeah, I'd say so, mostly to me because the attack seems so much better and the sound has more texture.  When I listen to songs I know extremely well though, they don't quite "pop", like the sound detail doesn't blow me away liked...

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the w1000X as I've only heard them for 1 minute in the Nagoya equivalent of Tokyo's Akihabara.     The isolation is pretty much just like the w2002's if I had to guess, pretty bad but...
