I just got back from Japan. I saw these advertised. I just bought my w1000's while I was there. The w1000x were a bit(a lot) out of my price range... They're pretty though...

Wow, that was a good read. I'm new to this site, and to the whole audiophile sorta thing. I guess it's the beginning of a crazy journey. Thanks Boomana, this was the first thing I read when I got here. It's really helpful!
