Three pairs in a row, W2022 too bassy for my preference but still looks really beautiful. :beyersmile:

Heard that quantity is limited to 10 sets, and all have been pre-ordered already. :triportsad: Hope that's not true.

You may not know even two pairs of brand new Q010 earpads purchased from Sony can have such a big colour difference. L3000G and some early batch of L3000 (S/N <70) get much less bass from my experience. So I guess most of you are referring to those heavy bass (aka normal batch) L3000.

Well, I am certainly not a bass head. Bass lover seems to love those punchy headphones like PS1000, ED9, DX1000 which are not my cup of tea. But for those who think as opposite, Q010, HE1, ED10, may suit your taste.

Don't just concentrating only on the outlook of L3000, I've heard several L3000/G (3 or 4 don't remembered), as well as some R10 & Q010, some got heavy bass and sound muddy. Not sure because of previous usage or S/N or both. If there is an opportunity I would suggest an audition before...

I pre-ordered them in e-earphone: https://www.e-earphone.jp/products/detail/96488/1379/ You may check them out. I got a pair of spares for my L5000 but don't really like those pads, maybe because they are too thick to me and causing too much pressure on wearing L5000. Although those pads are...

Looks like ZMF pads got good synergy with ATH cans, hope I can see those pads in coming Canjam London.

Phew, cost me another hour to replace my L3000G earpads, but it's worthy :) Brand new spare earpads 4->3 Thinking of swapping the old L3000 earpads into my L5000, I don't like the thick L5000 earpads (aka W5000 earpads) at all.

For $9000 to spend on hand-painted arts, its not unreasonable at all. But I'll pass this time...

I guess they are not as expensive as HE90 :beyersmile:

:)

Not cable mod, its an a2dc to lemo adapter :-D Since the cable is for Qualia 010

Really love those cans. L3000G still have a silk like sound even it is already 19 years old ^^

Craig is really fantastic at customer service, very nice, reply prompty. I, and my friend, love his TWag and SCSCag cables, great sounding~
