Mine arrived:    

oh yeah, tweeter has a good selection of sennheiser stuff. The one in towson is next to a Compusa, Linen's and Things, bank, and CVS...just to help you spot it. Pretty close to the big shopping mall actually.

hmm...dont see fullcompass carrying it on their online catalog...think i'm blind. Ah well, found it at samedaymusic.com for $130 shipped new, pretty good I think. Now which mod package...hmmMMmm..

this thing seems to have alot of potential..I just ordered me a cdr-602 for the hell of it. I'm not expecting much...so maybe I can give myself a big surprise out of this . Anyone got a DAC recommendation in the $500 range?

overall rankings are full of crap. Specialty rankings like majors and whatnot are more useful.

The most obvious place to check out would definitely be the Yodobashi Camera store in Akihabara. They don't have the best prices (pretty much the average price), but they do have a large selection that can be easily demo'd. I believe now they have listening booths with Marantz CD players and a...

hmm, how'd I manage to miss this thread?...especially when I was the second one to take the plunge (and the first to get a lemon DX1000) . After having traded them for the W5k's, I kinda miss them now. I always said they had a certain charm to them. Glad to see lots of others are seeing the...

Just ordered one today and they shipped the same day. Credit card was charged $139.99, but the order confirmation e-mail showed "subtotal: $149.99, discount: -10, total: $149.99 (not $139.99)" Guess for those who don't really care about the mic this is still a fairly nice deal.

it seems like they replaced the free gift with an IK Multimedia SampleTank 2 SE Plug-in Sound Module program instead (also an $80 value). I guess if this can speed up orders, what the heck. Buy IK Multimedia SampleTank 2 SE Plug-in Sound Module Musician's Friend Edition at Musician's Friend

anyone compare these with the A900's? (and yes, after a one year hiatus from headphones, something has finally caught my attention here...) also, I'll be in Tokyo after new years, where'd you find it for 20,000yen? The big box stores (bic camera/yodobashi) seems to have a mediocre price...

Quote: I finally waffled and cancelled my w1000 order and decided to go with the w5000. I will say with 100% confidence that you did the right thing here (unless you like statues).

I took one for the team on the dx1000's (actually, I took 2 hits there as the first one was DoA), I'll pass on this one . Now if they manage to drop down to the 300$-range after becoming a domestic model I'll reconsider.

forum hopping and watching youtube isn't any better than playing something like World of Warcraft

as far as headphones that you can order now and receive within a week, I'd buy the W5000's all over again. I've heard much of the lower end STAX rigs and I've decided that it's either the OmegaII's or no stax at all.

bought and sold the ATH-W100 twice. regretted selling both times, but these W5000's are keeping me happy right now

for the price that they're going for on ebay (~$50 SHIPPED), I think they're a bargain and a steal. I recall liking them more than the A500, but I'm not that sure anymore. Shouldn't be too dissappointed and it's probably one of the only decent headphones stores like Best Buy sell (though I don't...

well well, least I know what to buy next the next time I go to Japan . I'm beginning to see a pattern everytime I go there . Glad that I can always count on Audio-Technica on releasing new models on a regular schedule. Keeps things fresh. Would be kind of neat if Sony could reply to this...

Quote: Well, I don't know about the Pocari Sweat (tastes like crap IMO, Aquarius is much better, or for a US brand, Propel), but the figures are definitely more prominent than the headphones. I'm on the other side, I think Aquarius tastes like crap , but it's a coke vs. pepsi, sprite...

yeah, it's an apartment. Hopkins doesn't provide housing for Juniors and Seniors....well, at least now they don't. I can watch the lacross/football/soccer games from my balcony .

if you got the money and you're enthusiastic about this hobby, go ahead and pick one up. I wrote about it on my blog as well and managed to convince someone like you (a non-headfier but had a Grado SR60) on IRC to save up for the second run of these. In the end it only helps this forum. I've...

hah, I knew it. It was here all along but it just took the mail man longer than usual to sort out the packages at our apartment building. Anyway, some pics: the damaged underside of the right cup that others seem to have I think... the damaged underside of the left cup Can't...

Quote: USPS doesn't have a delivery time guarantee on priority. They don't even always have a guarantee on express... yeah, priority mail has no guarantee on time at all. I've had situations where it has taken more than a week. It's as if they threw the package into the first class...

yeah, mine didn't come today either. must be baltimore's fault. everything here is slow.
