Anyone heard both?   How do they compare?   Which is more Euphonic/Romantic?

"thick, luscious and tubey midrange" http://headfonics.com/2011/04/top-ear-review-audio-technica-ath-esw9/   "sounds like it has a tube amp permanently attached to its driver"...

  Only 2,000 sets available worldwide! 

question as stated, I'm getting a dp1, and I'm gonna be using the hp amp on the dac itself, what do you think is better suited for the eximus?

who got the w3000? how was it?

Hi guys, I'm a long time lurker and seldom post and am once again hoping to borrow your expertise.  I'm fairly new to 'higher end' headphone setups, and have been using a pair of Audeze LCD-2's (rev 2) that I purchased new a year ago.  While I'm not dissatisfied with the LCD-2's, after lots of...

Here's how my W3000anv looks like after much bending...   I realised bit by bit over time didn't work for me. I have a relatively small head.   It fits correctly now.  Am getting a good seal every time I put them on. Sounds airier and bass is more present.  

Audio Tecnica ATH-W3000ANV

Really rookie on hi-fi.  What I am using is my PC, IPod Classic. I was used pha-1 as a DAC and AMP. MY headphone are MG7, ESW11 and W3000anv.  Pha-1 is not bad, but I want something better. So I sold it and wanna a AMP or DAC with AMP. My budget is 400AUD(I am living in AUSTRALIA).  I have...

 The only Headphones i own are the ATH-AD700 with the ATH-AD900's on the way. I've used the AD700 exclusively for gaming and ordered the ATH-AD900 for the same reason. While doing research i ended up on Head-Fi and not only found the answers i needed in regards to the upgrade but have also read...

I've always been wanting to own a wooden one, i've tried the w3000 anv, denon d7000 lcd2, lcd 3 and this certainly has caught my eye. Any comments? :)

I'm looking for something that I can use in my dorm for only listening to movies/youtube with a 300$ish budget . My priorities , in order of priority, are: 1: Isolation 2: Comfort 3: Durability 4: SQ Right now all I've found that might fit what I'm looking for are the Sennheiser hd:25ii, the...

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a hurry right now, so I can't really explain too much. I got the W3000ANV but didn't get what I was really looking for. I'll be returning those, and I really want a headphone or IEM that can deliver a strong midrange. I'd like the midrange to just jump off my MP3 and...

I'm looking for another pair of headphones that compliment the LCD3s. What do you suggest?

Well... yes and no. What I have here is an old Sigma, modded to the standard of the current Stax 404. It is a new design although it's never been commercially made. Here's the story. The original Sigmas came out in 1977 (see photos of original model) In 1987 Stax re-issued the Sigma to...

Hi I am new to Head-Fi (not really - I have used it a lot to read reviews). I am looking to get a new pair of headphones. After hours and hours of researching, I got nothing... So I though it would be best if a ask you guys myself and so here's what I am after; I am looking to get a closed...

Hi all.   I'm looking for something to replace my Beyer T1s and am hoping for some advice. The T1s are very transparent and detailed which I generally like but I have personally found them a bit bright and a bit distant. I'm looking for something with a fuller sound that's also more engaging...

Hello everyone , this is my first thread here, i get a chance to acquire this lovely headphone at a good price from my friend ,huge improvement from my old pairs. However, i realized that i should upgrade my system and get a proper headphones amp/dac to go with this headphones. Any...

One question gentlemen:  Besides my "open headphone", I need to buy a closed headphone, just because sometimes I can not afford to have sound leaking to (or from) outside.     So.. I am looking for a very-high-quality Audiophile headphone with large soundstage and musicality close to an open...

I just posted this in the high end forum in reply that someone thought soundstaging is the most important aspect of music reproduction: I do not get the obsession with soundstage on headphones. An extra few mm of space around the head is nothing like the 3d space a good speaker system. I have...
