hi drew,how much the T1 was? haven't buy any headphone from amazon since the $99 TF10. Quote:    

go for it before is too late,cz i am kind of interested too

Quote: i wear the w5000 with no problem,and i don't have the "head shapes' problem. really wondering how strong is that thinny little metal inside of the rubber wrap.      

i use the  Hi-Fi tuning black supreme ,got it when it first came out for 35 bucks.indeed is the best $35 i spent on audio,it took the SQ to the other level

Quote: compare the w3000 and w5000,the 3-d wing is the worst part,i can hardly feel it support my head,ends up the pressure goes under my ear,and is a little loose .    

Quote:   the w3k is warmer than the w5k in my rig(ml39+zana),for me the w3k has the old ath house sound back,at lease when i listen to the ACG.

i paid 1325 for mine

when they gonna announce ?

any news about the statement dac ?

Quote: i seem them around for 1.7k and is the 120v version
