I've owned a W10VTG for about five months now. I mostly agree with Landis' remarks about them, except I do not find my pair bright sounding at all. In fact they have the least treble energy of all the woodies I've listened to so far, I would even say they are too smooth in the highs for some types of music. Even the W11JPN sounds brighter (the W10VTG does sound more energetic overall though, due to having less decay and a stronger emphasis in the upper mids). I've read comments in the past talking about pairs of W10VTGs sounding noticeably different from each other, and this may be one of those cases. Overall I'd say these are a great headphone for the right genres of music (vocals, small classical ensembles, pop, acoustic, some classic rock) and the most non-fatiguing can I've heard so far, but like Landis said they can sound congested with more complex music. As an aside, I think most people who like this type of sound signature (plentiful bass, lush mids, subdued highs) would likely prefer the W11JPN which is more detailed and transparent while also having more extension on both sides and a more natural sounding midrange.
