I have read some reviews on the AT headphones at Head-Fi, thank you for that. No one seems to have heard both the W100 and the W11R. Inspired by Tomcat, I made some babelfishing. I found a Japanese review of several AT models, but the quality of the machine translation was so bad that you had to guess most of it.
Now, I remembered a Japanese friend and asked for help. He is not an audiophile and I didn't want to stretch it fo far asking him to translate the full text. I made some questions and he has made a summary of the differences between W11R and W100 (according to the Japanese review). Here it comes:
1.The reviewer thinks that W11R is better than W100, although W11R is more expensive. When you will enjoy CD, W11R is much better, he said.
2.You can see the important difference. W11R has a better plug and cable. He thinks it made difference in sound. W100 is poor in treble, comparably.
3.But he insists that W100 is also a nice headphone. It is affordable, is good value for money. And about 'feeling of fit', W100 is one of the best!. It will fit your ears and you never get tired, when you enjoy it some hours.
4.So, for the audio-maniac, he will recommend W11. And he thinks, W100 is also a nice product, with an affordable price.
I have ordered the W11R today.
