Wood for a clip-on? Japanese really like wood cover, isn't it?

mini ATH-W1000?

...

It certainly looks very impressive and classic!
If they sound as good as their big brother..

<checks calendar> Nope, it's not April 1st...

The final nail in the coffin, I'm afraid.

Beautiful! OK, so how much is the damage?

 

[psyco1]

You think they'd have used screws that didn't have the paint scraped off for a promo shot like that.

haha. they could've photoshopped it also.

Audio Technica is getting nifty with the wood. I can't believe they used wood in a clipon style headphone. I need isolation so this doens't really work for me.

Hmm..interesting.. that's about $170 US ... I wonder if these will trounce the Ety's and the Shure's?

Yeah, maybe not as much isolation...

 

[Bonkura]

That they look great is for certan tho. Too bad about the screws, they look old and used to me. They should have been completely black or completely something else

 

[sygyzy]

I wonder when they'll be available in the states?

On a side note, does anyone know why the Audio-Technica website is so sparse? They list all these microphones and maybe 4 headphones. I cannot find most of the ATH models listed anywhere besides Audiocubes. Are they all foreign models or something?

 

[Ptrick]

Do these remind anyone else of cross-drilled disc brakes? Plus they're made from aluminium. AWESOME LOOK!

 

[N@Z]

The Porsche 911 turbo has composite ceramic cross drilled brakes... there's another material option for AT!

 

[D-EJ915]

Haha, I'd like to see 'phone made out of the PCB material, lol, that'd be funny...

Gosh those things are massively expensive, I can't imagine anyone actually plunking down that dough, I mean, the ART monitors and Wood series actually sound good...I just don't like clip-ons I guess.

 

[daycart1]

I'm going to hold out for the clip-ons with baseball stitched leather!

Not likely ever. Quote:

Yes, they are all foreign models. All the highest end AT cans are import-only.
