I been using my A900X's for a long while, I do enjoy the headphones very much but their ear-pads started to hurt my left Ear. I tried twisting  the pads around, Thinking that it was on wrong. But that doesn't solve the problem. I def do not want to change from the A900x. But I was wondering if...

Hi all! Please accept my apology if this is in the wrong forum. I'm still pretty new to the site and am still finding my feet(..ah there they are!) My question is this: My dad lives in san diego(as do I part of the year) and he wants somewhere he can try out different cans. Does such a...

I love W3000ANV,not only the appearance but also the sound. Why I love W3000? The critical point is that it have both highest sound quality and greatest moving musical. W3000ANV was made For 50 years anniversary of audio-technica, I think the perfect sound of W3000 tell me , audio-technica is a...

I noticed that it is hard to find seriously high end headphones that still pack a pounding in the bass department.  Here is my criteria   Good Bass (duh!) No Budget Good Isolation play well with iPhone 5+JDSLabs C5 unclouded mids smooth, non sibilant highs good build quality...

I constantly hear people characterize the Audio Technica L3000 as the ultimate basshead headphone and that's what I'm looking for right now. I'd like to know the opinions of the people that have heard it and how they would describe the sound. Details like treble peaks would be important for me...

do they fit...

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

I'm currently in the market for the old "king" of dynamics and the leatherheads. Can anyone tell me the current market value of these two headphones? Not sure how much they have changed since I have just recently re-entered this hobby. Thanks :)

Aside from Stax, HD800, T1, & Audeze LCDx what else are on the market if you own those already?

With the HifiMan, Audeze, Senns., Beyer, Ultrasone, Grado, etc. product lines providing very good sound, are the classics still holding value/performance? The classics are our past reference points. L3000, R-10, K1000, etc. Anybody with a collection of each era care to share your opinions on...

This is an extension of opinions I recently posted in the high-end forum. I felt it was interesting to share my views on the HD800 in the general forum, where everyone hangs out. I just sold my HD800's to a friend, after having them for almost a month. At the beginning, I remember being very...

  It's been almost 3 years since last time I used most of my cans. So after unboxing I listened to them for at least 8 hours at day in continuous back and forth with all kind of music during two weeks. I thought I should share some impressions as I always loved posts from people talking about...

Hi guys.    As the topic says, I'm wondering about what to get headphone-wise between the LA7000 and LCD-2.Couldn't really find any other thread here on the subject, and I guess that makes sense because people wouldnt really put these two up against each other anyways, but seeing as I own a...

I have the W5000 (f5005 mod.) -will the LCD-2 give me better SQ? i'm into new-age stuff. and refinement is a must...   Thanks! -Eyal

There's a buying itch that needs to be scratched but first I'd like to hear from anyone with direct experience of the ATH-W1000X against the W1000 and W5000. If I get a apair of W1000X am I going to have a noticable difference from my other 2 AT woodies. From what I have read there is a...

I sold my Audio Technica W5000's. I sold my Beyerdynamic DT880's.   I heard the Stax 404LE + SRM 323 (not sure on the amp) set at a local meet a year ago and I loved it. It was by far my favorite of all the headphones there, which included an L3000, LCD-2, The R10 and an unfortunately broken...

From what I've been able to find, the following is a chronological list of Audio-Technica "top of the line" (limited or not) headphones: W10VTG - 5/21/96 W10LTD - 12/1/97 W11JPN - 12/1/99 W11R - 12/1/00 W2002 - 10/21/01 L3000 - 11/21/03 W5000 - 12/2/05 I may be missing some. Based on...

I was just reading the, "what do your kids think of audiophilia" thread and it sort of seems that there are more male audiophiles than females. From what I've seen taking public transportation, I mainly see guys using high end headphones, not that I see too much people using good headphones in...

Can someone with an Ed. 8 please take a ruler and measure the depth of the ear pads in mm? I want to see how deep it is compared to my ATH-W1000x which is quite shallow. Measure approximately where the ear touches the pad until the nearest solid contact inside. Thanks in advance!    

I don't really like the feel on the w1000x pads and I am considering replacing them with the l3000 pads. Can any one confirm if these will fit?  Thanks!  

I thought that the last headphone sighting was getting a bit long, so I decided to start a new one, if that's ok... HEADPHONE SIGHTING TODAY!!! I just started summer school yesterday at St. Francis High School in Mountain View. There are kids from St. Francis as well as kids from different...

Hey folks! Wondering if anyone knows anything about ATH Woody pad compatibility. It looks like Audio Cubes II has a wide selection of nice leather pads for the W5000 and L3000, but I'm wondering if the L3000 pad is compatible with my W1000X. Anyone know? Have they always fit every model?  ...

How would you compare the bass of the JH-16's to, say, the TF10 and XB500? Yes, I know they are two completely different headphones, but I have both and am very, very interested in these customs and need to know about their bass response. Thanks!
